Subject: [17/48] KVM: Remove ability to assign a device without iommu support

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@...hat.com>

(cherry picked from commit 423873736b78f549fbfa2f715f2e4de7e6c5e1e9)

This option has no users and it exposes a security hole that we
can allow devices to be assigned without iommu protection.  Make
KVM_DEV_ASSIGN_ENABLE_IOMMU a mandatory option.
