Recently a kdump bug was discovered in which a system would hang inside
calibrate_delay during the booting of the kdump kernel. This was caused
by the fact that the jiffies counter was not being incremented during
timer calibration. The root cause of this problem was found to be a
bios misconfiguration of the hypertransport bus. On system affected by
this hang, the bios had assigned APIC ids which used extended apic bits
(more than the nominal 4 bit ids's), but failed to configure bit 17 of
the hypertransport transaction config register, which indicated that the
mask for the destination field of interrupt packets accross the ht bus
(see section 3.3.9 of
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26094.PDF).
If a crash occurs on a cpu with an APIC id that extends beyond 4 bits,
it will not recieve interrupts during the kdump kernel boot, and this
hang will be the result. The fix is to add this patch, whcih add an
early pci quirk check, to forcibly enable this bit in the httcfg
register. This enables all cpus on a system to receive interrupts, and
allows kdump kernel bootup to procede normally.

This patch renames the 4 symbols iommu_hole_init(), iommu_aperture,
iommu_aperture_allowed, iommu_aperture_disabled. All these symbols are only
used for the GART implementation of IOMMUs.
It adds and additional gart_ prefix to them.

This patch renames the IOMMU config option to GART_IOMMU because in fact it
means the GART and not general support for an IOMMU on x86.

This patch renames the include file asm-x86/iommu.h to asm-x86/gart.h to make
clear to which IOMMU implementation it belongs. The patch also adds "GART" to
the Kconfig line.

They were already very similar; just use the same file now.
