iommu/amd: Detect and enable guest vAPIC support
This patch introduces a new IOMMU driver parameter, amd_iommu_guest_ir, which can be used to specify different interrupt remapping mode for passthrough devices to VM guest: * legacy: Legacy interrupt remapping (w/ 32-bit IRTE) * vapic : Guest vAPIC interrupt remapping (w/ GA mode 128-bit IRTE) Note that in vapic mode, it can also supports legacy interrupt remapping for non-passthrough devices with the 128-bit IRTE.

+ Specifies one of the following AMD IOMMU interrupt

+ legacy - Use legacy interrupt remapping mode.
+ vapic - Use virtual APIC mode, which allows IOMMU
+ to inject interrupts directly into guest.
+ This mode requires kvm-amd.avic=1.
