[PATCH v4 2/5] x86/iommu: make code addressing CVE-2011-1898 no VT-d specific



The variable untrusted_msi indicates whether the system is vulnerable to
CVE-2011-1898 due to the absence of interrupt remapping support.
Although AMD iommus with interrupt remapping disabled are also affected,
this case is not handled yet. Given that the issue is not VT-d specific,
and to accommodate future use of the flag for covering also the AMD iommu
case, move the definition of the flag out of the VT-d specific code to the
common x86 iommu code.

Also, since the current implementation assumes that only PV guests are prone
to this attack, take the opportunity to define untrusted_msi only when PV is
enabled.

No functional change intended.

Changes in v4:
  - in vtd code, guard with CONFIG_PV the use of untrusted_msi
  - mention in commit log that CVE-2011-1898 currently is not addressed for
    AMD iommus with disabled intremap
  - add Jan's Reviewed-by tag
