[PATCH] iommu/vt-d: Disable IOMMU on Lenovo ThinkPad P50s

[Oliver Lin]

On Lenovo ThinkPad P50s, enabling Intel IOMMU causes TPM
initialization failures, suspend/resume issues, and prevents the
system from powering off completely.

The system works correctly with intel_iommu=off. A locally tested
kernel with this DMI quirk also works correctly without requiring the
kernel parameter.

Add a DMI quirk to disable Intel IOMMU on this platform.

Is this a broken ACPI DMAR table? If so, please try updating to the
latest firmware. Otherwise, report the issue to the laptop vendor and
ask them to resolve it, especially if they claim their product supports
Linux.
