Intel IOMMU: Iommu Gfx workaround

When we fix all the opensource gfx drivers to use the DMA api's, at that time
we can yank this config options out.

+         Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
+         for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
+         option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
+         all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
+         to use physical addresses for DMA.
