[PATCH] iommu: Add config option to set passthrough as default
From: Olof Johansson
Date: Fri Jul 20 2018 - 14:02:59 EST
This allows the default behavior to be controlled by a kernel config
option instead of changing the commandline for the kernel to include
"iommu.passthrough=on" or "iommu=pt" on machines where this is desired.
Likewise, for machines where this config option is enabled, it can be
disabled at boot time with "iommu.passthrough=off" or "iommu=nopt".
Also corrected iommu=pt documentation for IA-64, since it has no code that
parses iommu= at all.
Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@xxxxxxxxx>

Chances since v1:
- Added analogous behavior for Intel/AMD
- Added iommu=nopt for x86 and updated docs
