It does not make a lot of sense to check for this feature in the
IOMMU-API currently because there is no support for intr-remapping in
there. But it will be there when intr-remapping support for AMD IOMMU is
implemented. So this change can be considered as a first step in that
direction. Please repost with the change requested below an I'll add
this one to my tree.

I think the SAFE_ is not necessary in the name. It is misleading because
it indicates that there is an unsafe variant of intr-remapping available
when this capability is not set. Just call it IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAPPING.
