Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] iommu/vt-d: Add Kconfig option to enable/disable scalable mode

This adds Kconfig option INTEL_IOMMU_SCALABLE_MODE_DEFAULT_ON
to make it easier for distributions to enable or disable the
Intel IOMMU scalable mode by default during kernel build.

+	  is not selected, scalable mode support could also be enabled by
