AMD IOMMU uses MMIO registers 0x170-0x180 to generate the interrupts when guest
has enabled xt support through control register. The guest programs these
registers with appropriate vector and destination ID instead of writing to PCI
MSI capability.

Until now enabling the xt support through command line "xtsup=on" provided
support for 128 bit IRTE. But it has few limitations:

1. It does not consider if guest has actually enabled xt support through MMIO
   control register (0x18). This may cause problems for the guests which do
   not enable this support.
2. The vIOMMU is not capable of generating interrupts using vector and
   destinatio ID in IOMMU x2APIC Control Registers (not supporting event log
   interrupts).

To overcome above limitations, this patch series introduces new internal flag 
"intcapxten" which is set when guest writes "1" to MMIO control register (0x18)
bit 51 (IntCapXTEn) and adds support to generate event log interrupt using
vector and 32 bit destination ID in XT MMIO register 0x170.
