My thought only was with it after the 'config INTEL_IOMMU' block and before 'if INTEL_IOMMU'
it would show up like:

[*]   Support for Intel IOMMU using DMA Remapping Devices
(1024) Number of DMA Remapping Units supported   <<<< NEW

Is this something that could be figured out when parsing the dmar
table? It looks like currently iommu_refcnt[], iommu_did[], and
dmar_seq_ids[] depend on it.
