Patch 1/3: allocate iommu when create a drhd
        A drhd is created when parse ACPI DMAR table, but drhd->iommu is not 
allocated until iommu setup. But iommu is needed by x2APIC which will enable interrupt 
remapping before iommu setup. This patch allocates iommu when create drhd. And then 
drhd->ecap can be removed because it's the same as iommu->ecap.


Have these patches been tested on a machine where the number of DRHD !=
number of IOAPICs?

Why need to care about number of DRHD != number of IOAPICs? One DRHD may cover more than one IOAPICs. And there is already check if all IOAPICs have corresponding DRHD.
