The patchset improves Xen x2APIC support. 

Patch 1/3: allocate iommu when create a drhd
	A drhd is created when parse ACPI DMAR table, but drhd->iommu is not allocated until iommu setup. But iommu is needed by x2APIC which will enable interrupt remapping before iommu setup. This patch allocates iommu when create drhd. And then drhd->ecap can be removed because it's the same as iommu->ecap.

Patch 2/3: improve interrupt remapping and queued invalidation enabling and disabling
	x2APIC depends on interrupt remapping, so interrupt remapping needs to be enabled before x2APIC. Usually x2APIC is not enabled (x2apic_enabled=0) when enable interrupt remapping, although x2APIC will be enabled later. So it needs to pass a parameter to set interrupt mode in intremap_enable, instead of checking x2apic_enable. This patch adds a parameter "eim" to intremap_enable to achieve it.
	Interrupt remapping and queued invalidation are already enabled when enable x2apic, so it needn't to enable them again when setup iommu. This patch checks if interrupt remapping and queued invalidation are already enable or not, and won't enable them if already enabled. It does the similar in disabling, that's to say don't disable them if already disabled.

Patch 3/3: improve x2apic enabling logic
	This patch masks PIC and IOAPIC RTE's before x2APIC enabling, unmask and restore them after x2APIC enabling. It also really enables interrupt remapping before x2APIC enabling instead of just checking interrupt remapping setting.
	This patch handles all configuration related to x2APIC. Especially, it handles that BIOS hands over in x2APIC mode (when there is apic id > 255). It checks if x2APIC is already enabled by BIOS. If already enabled, it will disable interrupt remapping and queued invalidation first, then enable them again.
