Intel IOMMU: Iommu floppy workaround

This config option (DMAR_FLPY_WA) sets up 1:1 mapping for the floppy device so
that the floppy device which does not use DMA api's will continue to work.

Once the floppy driver starts using DMA api's this config option can be turn
off or this patch can be yanked out of kernel at that time.
