[patch 4/8] [Intel IOMMU] Supporting Zero Length Reads in Intel IOMMU.

[Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>]

PCI specs permit zero length reads (ZLR) even if the mapping for that region 
is write only. Support for this feature is indicated by the presence of a bit 
in the DMAR capability. If a particular DMAR does not support this capability
we map write-only regions as read-write.

This option can also provides a workaround for some drivers that request
a write-only mapping when they really should request a read-write.
(We ran into one such case in eepro100.c in handling rx_ring_dma)
