Subject: [PATCH v8 3/7] iommu: Add "iommu.strict" command line option

From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@...wei.com>

Add a generic command line option to enable lazy unmapping via IOVA
flush queues, which will initally be suuported by iommu-dma. This echoes
the semantics of "intel_iommu=strict" (albeit with the opposite default
value), but in the driver-agnostic fashion of "iommu.passthrough".

Signed-off-by: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@...wei.com>
[rm: move handling out of SMMUv3 driver, clean up documentation]
Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@....com>

v8:
 - Rename "non-strict" to "strict" to better match existing options
 - Rewrite doc text/commit message
 - Downgrade boot-time message from warn/taint to info
