Subject: [PATCH] interrupt remapping: Fix interrupt remapping hang if interrupt remapping disable in BIOS

BIOS clear DMAR table INTR_REMAP flag to disable interrupt remapping. Current
kernel only check interrupt remapping(IR) flag in DRHD's extended capability 
register to decide interrupt remapping support or not. But IR flag will not 
affected by BIOS setting. 

So though BIOS disable interrupt remapping feature, However, 
intr_remapping_supported function will report interrupt supported. On this 
cases, it will continue to enable interrupt remapping which will cause kernel 
hang. This bug exist on almost platform support interrupt remapping.      

This patch add DMAR table INTR_REMAP flag check before enable interrup remapping
