Description

MFC 304858,305485: Fix various issues with PCI pass through and VT-d.

304858:
Enable I/O MMU when PCI pass through is first used.

Rather than enabling the I/O MMU when the vmm module is loaded,
defer initialization until the first attempt to pass a PCI device
through to a guest. If the I/O MMU fails to initialize or is not
present, than fail the attempt to pass a PCI device through to a
guest.

The hw.vmm.force_iommu tunable has been removed since the I/O MMU is
no longer enabled during boot. However, the I/O MMU support can be
disabled by setting the hw.vmm.iommu.enable tunable to 0 to prevent
use of the I/O MMU on any systems where it is buggy.

305485:
Leave ppt devices in the host domain when they are not attached to a VM.

This allows a pass through device to be reset to a normal device driver
on the host and reused on the host. ppt devices are now always active in
some I/O MMU domain when the I/O MMU is active, either the host domain
or the domain of a VM they are attached to.
