PCI / ACPI: Identify untrusted PCI devices A malicious PCI device may use DMA to attack the system. An external Thunderbolt port is a convenient point to attach such a device. The OS may use IOMMU to defend against DMA attacks. Some BIOSes mark these externally facing root ports with this ACPI _DSD [1]: Name (_DSD, Package () { ToUUID ("efcc06cc-73ac-4bc3-bff0-76143807c389"), Package () { Package () {"ExternalFacingPort", 1}, Package () {"UID", 0 } } }) If we find such a root port, mark it and all its children as untrusted. The rest of the OS may use this information to enable DMA protection against malicious devices. For instance the device may be put behind an IOMMU to keep it from accessing memory outside of what the driver has allocated for it. While at it, add a comment on top of prp_guids array explaining the possible caveat resulting when these GUIDs are treated equivalent.
