iommu: Add capability for pre-boot DMA protection
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
VT-d's dmar_platform_optin() actually represents a combination of
properties fairly well standardised by Microsoft as "Pre-boot DMA
Protection" and "Kernel DMA Protection"[1]. As such, we can provide
interested consumers with an abstracted capability rather than
driver-specific interfaces that won't scale. We name it for the former
aspect since that's what external callers are most likely to be
interested in; the latter is for the IOMMU layer to handle itself.
