iommu: Add "iommu.strict" command line option
Add a generic command line option to enable lazy unmapping via IOVA flush queues, which will initally be suuported by iommu-dma. This echoes the semantics of "intel_iommu=strict" (albeit with the opposite default value), but in the driver-agnostic fashion of "iommu.passthrough".

nobypass [PPC/POWERNV]
Disable IOMMU bypass, using IOMMU for PCI devices.
+ iommu.strict= [ARM64] Configure TLB invalidation behaviour
+ Format: { "0" | "1" }
+ 0 - Lazy mode.
+ Request that DMA unmap operations use deferred
+ invalidation of hardware TLBs, for increased
+ throughput at the cost of reduced device isolation.
+ Will fall back to strict mode if not supported by
+ the relevant IOMMU driver.
+ 1 - Strict mode (default).
+ DMA unmap operations invalidate IOMMU hardware TLBs
+ synchronously.

iommu.passthrough=
[ARM64] Configure DMA to bypass the IOMMU by default.
