x86, iommu: Fix IOMMU_INIT alignment rules
This boot crash was observed: DMA-API: preallocated 32768 debug entries DMA-API: debugging enabled by kernel config BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 19da8955 IP: [<f4ffffff>] 0xf4ffffff *pde = 00000000 The crux of the failure was that even if we did not use any of the .iommu_table section, the linker would still insert it in the vmlinux file. This patch fixes that and also fixes the runtime crash where we would try to access the array.
