Bug Description

[Impact]

To properly support instance types in AWS with > 255 cores we need to make sure that commit c40aaaac1018ff1382f2d35df5129a6bcea3df6b ("iommu/vt-d: Gracefully handle DMAR units with no supported address widths") is applied across all our linux-aws kernels.

[Test Case]

Tests performed by AWS.

[Fix]

Apply/backport commit c40aaaac1018ff1382f2d35df5129a6bcea3df6b.

For groovy it's a clean cherry pick.

For Focal/Bionic the backport activity is to simply rename the patched file.

Only Xenial requires a little more backporting activity, in particular we need to change the condition in free_iommu() checking if iommu->iommu_dev is defined (instead of checking for iommu->iommu.ops, that is not available in the 4.4 kernel).

[Regression potential]

This change allows to use DMAR units that were not used before (for interrupt remapping). Theoretically this should provide a performance improvement, but we should keep an eye about potential performance regressions of drivers that are using IOMMU, in case they're using this new behavior incorrectly.

Moreover, the Xenial backport required an adjustment in free_iommu() to check when we need to call iommu_device_destroy(), if the adjustment is not 100% correct we could introduce a potential memory leak.

Validation results. Proper number of vpus did show up in Bionic, Focal, Groovy, and Xenial-4.15. The Xenial 4.4 kernel only saw 256 vcpus.
