Subject: [PATCH v3] ACPI / tables: Add IORT to injectable table list

Loading IORT table from initrd is used to fix firmware IORT defects.
Moreover, it is very useful to debug SMMU node/device probe, MSI
allocation, stream id translation and IORT table from firmware. It
is also very useful to enable SMMU and devices behind SMMU before
firmware is ready.

This patch adds ACPI_SIG_IORT to the table, which enables IORT
from initrd to override which from firmware.
