Intel VT-d supports different address widths for the IOVAs, from
39 bits to 56 bits.
While recent processors support at least 48 bits, VT-d emulation
currently only supports 39 bits. It makes DMA mapping to fail in this
case when using VA as IOVA mode, as user-space virtual addresses uses
up to 47 bits (see kernel's Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt).
This patch parses VT-d CAP register value available in sysfs, and
forbid VA as IOVA mode if the GAW is 39 bits or unknown.
