[PATCH 1/3] iommu/vt-d: skip RMRR entries that fail the sanity check

[Barret Rhoden]

RMRR entries describe memory regions that are DMA targets for devices
outside the kernel's control.

RMRR entries that fail the sanity check are pointing to regions of
memory that the firmware did not tell the kernel are reserved or
otherwise should not be used.

Instead of aborting DMAR processing, this commit skips these RMRR
entries.  They will not be mapped into the IOMMU, but the IOMMU can
still be utilized.  If anything, when the IOMMU is on, those devices
will not be able to clobber RAM that the kernel has allocated from those
regions.
