Blacklist DMAR on Intel G31/G33 chipsets
From: David Woodhouse
Date: Wed Sep 03 2008 - 06:54:14 EST
Some BIOSes (the Intel DG33BU, for example) wrongly claim to have DMAR
when they don't. Avoid the resulting crashes when it doesn't work as
expected.

Using early-quirks this time, at Andi's suggestion. I haven't been able
to test this version though, since I killed my board when trying to reflash
the BIOS too many times. Arjan, did you say we have a pile of these?
