This patch adds a new exported function to amd_iommu_v2, which returns 1 if the
amd_iommu_v2 initialization function has completed, and 0 otherwise.

This is necessary for the case when amd_iommu_v2 is compiled inside the kernel
image (not as module) and another module (e.g. amdkfd), which is also compiled
inside the kernel image, is dependent on amd_iommu_v2 functionality.

In that case, there is no mechanism in the kernel that enforces the order of
loading between the two modules. Therefore, If the amd_iommu_v2 is loaded
_after_ the other module, and the other module calls one of
amd_iommu_v2 exported functions _before_ amd_iommu_v2 is loaded, than that
function will fail, and as a result, the calling module may fail as well.

Note that when the two modules are compiled as modules, this situation can't
occur as the kernel enforces the order of loading.

Hi Joerg,
This patch follows our IRC conversations from the last week.
Last update from me was that using subsys_initcall instead of module_init
does enforce amd_iommu_v2 to load _before_ amdkfd (apparently I didn't check
it correctly the first time). However, this won't help us because:
1. I don't know what effect this has when amd_iommu_v2 is compiled as module.
2. amd_iommu_v2 depends on amd_iommu which is not subsys, so amd_iommu_v2
init function fails when it is called this early, and thus, amd_iommu_v2
doesn't work.

I want to fix this situation in rc1/2, so I'm sending the complementary
patches to dri-devel in the meantime.

Hi,
The drm guys suggested we move iommu/ subsystem before gpu/ subsystem in drivers/Makefile instead of the above patch (and the complementing patch-set in amdkfd).

I did that and it works, so please see this patch as discarded for now.
I will send a new patch-set shortly.
