[for-6.0 v5 12/13] securable guest memory: Alter virtio default properties for protected guests

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

The default behaviour for virtio devices is not to use the platforms normal
DMA paths, but instead to use the fact that it's running in a hypervisor
to directly access guest memory.  That doesn't work if the guest's memory
is protected from hypervisor access, such as with AMD's SEV or POWER's PEF.

So, if a securable guest memory mechanism is enabled, then apply the
iommu_platform=on option so it will go through normal DMA mechanisms.
Those will presumably have some way of marking memory as shared with
the hypervisor or hardware so that DMA will work.
