Thread-topic: [PATCH] Only enable some VT-d features if all VT-d engines support them.
By default, we enable snoop control, queued invalidation and interrupt
remapping if all VT-d engines support them, and for DMA passthrough we don't
enable it by default.

A user can use 'iommu=passthrough' to enable DMA passthrough (only for Dom0).
A user can use 'iommu=no-snoop,no-qinval,no-intremap' to disable the 3 features.
