iommu/amd: Split device table initialization into irq and dma part
When the IOMMU is enabled very early (as with irq-remapping) some devices are still in BIOS hand. When dma is blocked early this can cause lots of IO_PAGE_FAULTs. So delay the DMA initialization and do it right before the dma_ops are initialized. To be secure, block all interrupts by default when irq-remapping is enabled in the system. They will be reenabled on demand later. Without blocking interrupts by default devices can issue arbitrary interrupts by sending special DMA packets to the CPU that look like MSI messages. This is especially dangerous when a device is assigned to a KVM guest because the guest can then DoS the host. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
