iommu/amd: Do not request ACS when IOMMU is not going to be initialized
The AMD IOMMU Initialization State Machine has the following state
transition diagram (only the very first states are showed, and the
`IOMMU_' prefix is omitted):
START_STATE
|
v
[0] detect_ivrs() --> NOT_FOUND
| ok
v
IVRS_DETECTED
|
v
[1] amd_iommu_disabled? (amd_iommu=off) --> IOMMU_CMDLINE_DISABLED
| no
v
[2] early_amd_iommu_init()
|
+-- [3] amd_iommu_detected? (!iommu=off && ...) -+
| yes |
+-- ... --> IOMMU_INIT_ERROR <-------------------+
| ok
v
IOMMU_ACPI_FINISHED
|
v
...
[0] always calls pci_request_acs() as long as there's a valid IVRS table
and no Stoney Ridge graphics. This is not optimal as ACS is not required
in an [amd_]iommu=off boot.
In a normal boot, ACS is requested due to amd_iommu_detect() requesting
IVRS_DETECTED.

This is intended to ensure ACS is requested before the PCI core
initialization, or else a !CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP, nointremap or intremap=off
boot would be broken.
However, in an amd_iommu=off boot, the state machine still requests ACS
at the exact same time, as amd_iommu_detect() has nothing to do with
amd_iommu_disabled.
Even worse, in an iommu=off boot, though amd_iommu_detect() bails out
early, ACS is still requested due to amd_iommu_prepare() requesting
IOMMU_ACPI_FINISHED, which is called by irq_remapping_prepare() thanks
to CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (always set on X86_64) and CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP
(enabled by defconfig), unless nointremap or intremap=off is also passed
to cmdline.

apic_intr_mode_init+0x70/0xd0
x86_late_time_init+0x28/0x40
start_kernel+0x6f9/0x7a0
...
In both cases, [2] is still gated due to the [1] or [3] check, so that
IOMMU can be disabled per cmdline.
Technically, it makes no sense to detect IVRS at all in an
[amd_]iommu=off boot or if IOMMU is not supported due to platform
settings. This is probably why amd_iommu_detect() bails out before
requesting IVRS_DETECTED. Apparently only bailing out there is not
sufficient, and the bailing-out paths should really have been parts of
the state machine.
Clean up the initialization routines by moving the bailing-out paths and
[1] to the right place in the state machine (i.e., before [0]), and
always requesting IVRS_DETECTED in amd_iommu_detect() to initialize the
state machine early and properly.
Note that the condition (iommu_detected && !gart_iommu_aperture) is
dropped as it's dead code since the relevant code being removed. It
meant to detect what commit 6631ee9d0099 ("x86, AMD IOMMU: add
dma_ops initialization function") had introduced, but commit
d7f077697533 ("x86/amd-iommu: Fall back to GART if initialization
fails") has removed it. Later, commit 78013eaadf69 ("x86: remove the
IOMMU table infrastructure") ensured AMD IOMMU being detected before
Intel's and led to iommu_detected == gart_iommu_aperture in any case.
