Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/3] TXT: Intel IOMMU PMR Disable

Disable Intel VT-d (IOMMU) Protected Memory Regions (PMRs) when DMA
remapping is enabled.

Leaving the PMRs enabled may add more delay to the VT-d DMA request
processing (as another lookup may be performed) but whether they are
even used is not deterministic:
	DMA requests that are subject to address remapping, and
accessing the
	protected memory regions may or may not be blocked by hardware.
For
	such requests, software must not depend on hardware protection
of the
	protected memory regions, and instead program the DMA-remapping
	page-tables to block DMA to protected memory regions.
	-- from the description field of the PMEN_REG register in the
v1.2 (May '08) VT-d spec.
