x86/amd-iommu: Work around S3 BIOS bug
This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to
the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the
IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system
comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The
bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware
specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the
contents of these registers at boot time and restores them
on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific
IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.
