Subject[patch 4/8] [Intel IOMMU] Supporting Zero Length Reads in Intel IOMMU.
PCI specs permit zero length reads (ZLR) even if the mapping for that region 
is write only. Support for this feature is indicated by the presence of a bit
in the DMAR capability. If a particular DMAR does not support this capability
we map write-only regions as read-write.

This option can also provides a workaround for some drivers that request
a write-only mapping when they really should request a read-write.
(We ran into one such case in eepro100.c in handling rx_ring_dma)
