Subject: AMD IOMMUv2 performance counter patch and family 15h model 10h-1Fh
 quirk

These patches add AMD IOMMUv2 perfomance counter support and allow external
drivers to manage the PC; for example, a implementation of perf IOMMUv2 PMU.

The quirk fixes a potential problem regarding BIOS and enables the IOMMUv2
Extended Feature Register PC bit targeting AMD Family 15h Model 10h-1Fh.
