Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: improved iommu documentation

- add SWIOTLB config help text
- mention Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt in
  Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
- remove the duplication of the iommu kernel parameter documentation.
- Better explanation of some of the iommu kernel parameter options.
- "32MB<<order" instead of "32MB^order".
- Mention the default "order" value.
- list the four existing PCI-DMA mapping implementations of arch x86_64
- group the iommu= option keywords by PCI-DMA mapping implementation.
- Distinguish iommu= option keywords from number arguments.
- Explain the meaning of DAC and SAC.
