iommu/amd: Add kernel parameters to limit V1 page-sizes
Add two new kernel command line parameters to limit the page-sizes
used for v1 page-tables:
nohugepages - Limits page-sizes to 4KiB
v2_pgsizes_only - Limits page-sizes to 4Kib/2Mib/1GiB; The
same as the sizes used with v2 page-tables
This is needed for multiple scenarios. When assigning devices to
SEV-SNP guests the IOMMU page-sizes need to match the sizes in the RMP
table, otherwise the device will not be able to access all shared
memory.
Also, some ATS devices do not work properly with arbitrary IO
page-sizes as supported by AMD-Vi, so limiting the sizes used by the
driver is a suitable workaround.
All-in-all, these parameters are only workarounds until the IOMMU core
and related APIs gather the ability to negotiate the page-sizes in a
better way.
