AMD/intremap: Prevent use of per-device vector maps until irq logic is fixed
XSA-36 changed the default vector map mode from global to per-device. This is
because a global vector map does not prevent one PCI device from impersonating
another and launching a DoS on the system.
However, the per-device vector map logic is broken for devices with multiple
MSI-X vectors, which can either result in a failed ASSERT() or misprogramming
of a guests interrupt remapping tables. The core problem is not trivial to
fix.
In an effort to get AMD systems back to a non-regressed state, introduce a new
type of vector map called per-device-global. This uses per-device vector maps
in the IOMMU, but uses a single used_vector map for the core IRQ logic.
This patch is intended to be removed as soon as the per-device logic is fixed
correctly.
