x86: move GART TLB flushing options to generic code
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The GART currently implements the iommu=[no]fullflush command line
parameters which influence its IO/TLB flushing strategy. This patch
makes these parameters generic so that they can be used by the AMD IOMMU
too.
