iommu/amd: Disable AMD IOMMU if CMPXCHG16B feature is not supported
According to the AMD IOMMU spec, IOMMU hardware reads the entire DTE
in a single 256-bit transaction. It is recommended to update DTE using
128-bit operation followed by an INVALIDATE_DEVTAB_ENTYRY command when
the IV=1b or V=1b before the change.
According to the AMD BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BDKG) dated back
to family 10h Processor [1], which is the first introduction of AMD IOMMU,
AMD processor always has CPUID Fn0000_0001_ECX[CMPXCHG16B]=1.
Therefore, it is safe to assume cmpxchg128 is available with all AMD
processor w/ IOMMU.
In addition, the CMPXCHG16B feature has already been checked separately
before enabling the GA, XT, and GAM modes. Consolidate the detection logic,
and fail the IOMMU initialization if the feature is not supported.
