[PATCH] ppc64: Add iommu=on for enabling DART on small-mem machines

[olof]

Linus,

Below patch makes it possible for people like me with a small-mem G5 to
enable the DART. I see two reasons for wanting to do so:

1. To debug/test DART/iommu code itself (small audience, including
   myself).
2. To debug drivers on small-mem machines, since bad pci_map*() usage will
   be punished (possibly larger audience).


Thanks,

-Olof
