Subject: [PATCH] remove fullflush and nofullflush in IOMMU generic option

This patch against tip/x86/iommu virtually reverts
2842e5bf3115193f05dc9dac20f940e7abf44c1a. But just reverting the
commit breaks AMD IOMMU so this patch also includes some fixes.

The above commit adds new two options to x86 IOMMU generic kernel boot
options, fullflush and nofullflush. But such change that affects all
the IOMMUs needs more discussion (all IOMMU parties need the chance to
discuss it):

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/19/106

For me, adding these boot parameters doesn't make sense.

All the hardware IOMMUs could use 'fullflush' for lazy IOTLB flushing
but Calgary doesn't support it. Intel VT-d has the different option
for it (and we can't rename it). So it might be useful for only GART
and AMD IOMMU.

'nofullflush' definitely is pointless. 'nofullflush' option doesn't
change any kernel behavior and it was added just for GART
compatibility. We should not have such generic meaningless option just
for GART.

This patch removes the fullflush and nofullflush from the generic
kernel boot options and adds 'fullflush' support for AMD IOMMU.
