Subject: [PATCH v2] iommu/vt-d: Make DMAR_UNITS_SUPPORTED a config setting

To support up to 64 sockets with 10 DMAR units each (640), make the
value of DMAR_UNITS_SUPPORTED adjustable by a config variable,
CONFIG_DMAR_UNITS_SUPPORTED, and make it's default 1024 when MAXSMP is
set.

If the available hardware exceeds DMAR_UNITS_SUPPORTED (previously set
to MAX_IO_APICS, or 128), it causes these messages: "DMAR: Failed to
allocate seq_id", "DMAR: Parse DMAR table failure.", and "x2apic: IRQ
remapping doesn't support X2APIC mode x2apic disabled"; and the system
fails to boot properly.

Signed-off-by: Steve Wahl <steve.wahl@....com>
---

Note that we could not find a reason for connecting
DMAR_UNITS_SUPPORTED to MAX_IO_APICS as was done previously.  Perhaps
it seemed like the two would continue to match on earlier processors.
There doesn't appear to be kernel code that assumes that the value of
one is related to the other.

v2: Make this value a config option, rather than a fixed constant.  The default
values should match previous configuration except in the MAXSMP case.  Keeping the
value at a power of two was requested by Kevin Tian.
