Intel IOMMU Pass Through Support
The patch adds kernel parameter intel_iommu=pt to set up pass through
mode in context mapping entry. This disables DMAR in linux kernel; but
KVM still runs on VT-d and interrupt remapping still works.
In this mode, kernel uses swiotlb for DMA API functions but other VT-d
functionalities are enabled for KVM. KVM always uses multi level
translation page table in VT-d. By default, pass though mode is disabled
in kernel.
This is useful when people don't want to enable VT-d DMAR in kernel but
still want to use KVM and interrupt remapping for reasons like DMAR
performance concern or debug purpose.
