iommu: Add config option to set passthrough as default
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@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
