[patch 4/4] vt-d: handle previous faults after enabling fault handling

[Suresh Siddha]

Fault handling is getting enabled after enabling the interrupt-remapping (as
the success of interrupt-remapping can affect the apic mode and hence the
fault handling mode).

Hence there can potentially be some faults between the window of enabling
interrupt-remapping in the vt-d and the fault-handling of the vt-d units.

Handle any previous faults after enabling the vt-d fault handling.

For v2.6.38 cleanup, need to check if we can remove the dmar_fault() in the
enable_intr_remapping() and see if we can enable fault handling along with
enabling intr-remapping.
