Subject: [PATCH 5.15 058/279] iommu/vt-d: Do not falsely log intel_iommu is unsupported kernel option

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 5240aed2cd2594fb392239f11b9681e5e1591619 ]

Handling of intel_iommu kernel command line option should return "true" to
indicate option is valid and so avoid logging it as unknown by the core
parsing code.

Also log unknown sub-options at the notice level to let user know of
potential typos or similar.
