  For IOMMU AVIC, the IOMMU driver needs to keep track of vcpu scheduling
changes, and updates interrupt remapping table entry (IRTE) accordingly.
The IRTE is normally cached by the hardware, which requires the IOMMU
driver to issue IOMMU IRT invalidation command and wait for completion
everytime it updates the table.

Enabling IOMMU AVIC on a large scale system with lots of vcpus and
VFIO pass-through devices running interrupt-intensive workload,
it could result in high IRT invalidation rate. In such case, the overhead
from IRT invalidation could outweigh the benefit of IRTE caching.

Therefore, introduce a new AMD IOMMU driver option "amd_iommu=irtcachedis"
to allow disabling IRTE caching, and avoid the need for IRTE invalidation.

Patch 1,2 prepare the AMD IOMMU driver to support IRT cache disabling.
Patch 3,4 introduce IRT cache disabling support
Patch 5 improves the code path in IOMMU driver for updating vcpu scheduling
for AVIC.

Thank you,
Suravee
