Subject: iommu/amd: Fix unity mapping initialization race

From: Joerg Roedel <[email protected]>

commit 522e5cb76d0663c88f96b6a8301451c8efa37207 upstream.

There is a race condition in the AMD IOMMU init code that causes requested unity mappings to be blocked by the IOMMU for a short period of time. This results on boot failures and IO_PAGE_FAULTs on some machines.

Fix this by making sure the unity mappings are installed before all other DMA is blocked.
