Hi,

I'm not sure how much you know about chipsec [1], but with a oneliner [2] you
can have it print a lot of data from Vt-d configuration, including page
tables. As far as I remember, it doesn't need access to /dev/mem (but I gidn't
dig to check how it does it).

It might still be useful to have everything from debugfs because it'll always
be consistent with the current running kernel, but at least it might help
users reporting bugs.
