Subject: [PATCH v11 1/3] iommu: Enhance IOMMU default DMA mode build options

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

First, add build options IOMMU_DEFAULT_{LAZY|STRICT}, so that we have the
opportunity to set {lazy|strict} mode as default at build time. Then put
the two config options in a choice, as they are mutually exclusive.

[jpg: Make choice between strict and lazy only (and not passthrough)]

+	  This option allows an IOMMU DMA mode to be chosen at build time, to
+	  override the default DMA mode of each ARCH, removing the need to
+	  pass in kernel parameters through command line. It is still possible
+	  to provide ARCH-specific or common boot options to override this
+	  option.

+	  Support lazy mode, where for every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the
+	  flush operation of IOTLB and the free operation of IOVA are deferred.
+	  They are only guaranteed to be done before the related IOVA will be

+	  This mode is safer than lazy mode, but it may be slower in some high
