| x86: Handle HW IOMMU initialization failure gracefully
|
| If HW IOMMU initialization fails (Intel VT-d often does this,
| typically due to BIOS bugs), we fall back to nommu. It doesn't
| work for the majority since nowadays we have more than 4GB
| memory so we must use swiotlb instead of nommu.
...

amd 64 systems that
1. do not have AGP
2. do not have IOMMU
3. mem > 4g
4. BIOS do not allocate correct gart in NB.
will leave them to use SWIOTLB forcely.

also in pci_iommu_alloc()
pci_swiotlb_init is stealing the preallocate range that is for
gart_iommu_hole workaround.

so restore the sequence...

will get back
[ 0.000000] Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
[ 0.000000] Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
[ 0.000000] This costs you 64 MB of RAM
[ 0.000000] Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ 20000000
