Doesn't build for me.

Firstly, your patch 2/2 doesn't apply against git HEAD. I needed to
massage it to work. I think you're testing against an old kernel.

Then (with the massaged version in the iommu-2.6.git tree) if I apply
your third patch below I get this error when building with INTR_REMAP
&& !X2APIC:

arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c: In function ‘lapic_resume’:
arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:2054: error: ‘EIM_32BIT_APIC_ID’ undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:2054: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:2054: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.o] Error 1

If I apply the naïve fix of just changing a couple more #ifdef
CONFIG_INTR_REMAP to #ifdef CONFIG_X86_X2APIC (in enable_IR_x2apic() and
lapic_resume()), it builds but doesn't boot -- it just hangs after
reporting Queued Invalidation, at the code you added in dmar.c to call
enable_intr_remapping().

Please make sure you're testing against a current kernel, and test that
it builds and boots in all three configurations (no remapping, remapping
but no x2apic, and with both enabled).
