    x86/vtd: Hide superpage support for SandyBridge IOMMUs
    
    Something causes SandyBridge IOMMUs to choke when sharing EPT pagetables, 
and
    an EPT superpage gets shattered.  The root cause is still under 
investigation,
    but the end result is unusable in combination with CVE-2018-12207 
protections.
    
    This is part of XSA-304 / CVE-2018-12207
