Subject: [RESEND PATCH] iommu/intel: GAW only gets smaller by adding devices

As analyzed in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76331
we can have multiple DRHDs in a system and each may support different
guest address widths.  We can add a device behind a less capable DRHD
to a domain so long as the lesser DRHD can map the existing domain
page table.  We should never increase the address width as a result
of adding a device to the domain.  The current code simply updates
the width to the last added device.  Change to keep it at the
minumum DRHD width.
