[PATCH v4 0/6] normalize IOMMU dma mode boot options

As Robin Murphy's suggestion:
"It's also not necessarily obvious to the user how this interacts with
IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH, so if we really do go down this route, maybe it
would be better to refactor the whole lot into a single selection of something
like IOMMU_DEFAULT_MODE anyway."

In this version, I tried to normalize the IOMMU dma mode boot options for all
ARCHs. When IOMMU is enabled, there are 3 dma modes: paasthrough(bypass),
lazy(mapping but defer the IOTLB invalidation), strict. But currently each
ARCHs defined their private boot options, different with each other. For
example, to enable/disable "passthrough", ARM64 use iommu.passthrough=1/0,
X86 use iommu=pt/nopt, PPC/POWERNV use iommu=nobypass.


Zhen Lei (6):
  iommu: use iommu.dma_mode to replace iommu.passthrough and
    iommu.strict
  iommu: keep dma mode build options consistent with cmdline options
  iommu: add iommu_default_dma_mode_get() helper
  s390/pci: use common boot option iommu.dma_mode
  powernv/iommu: use common boot option iommu.dma_mode
  x86/iommu: use common boot option iommu.dma_mode
