    xen/dom0: Deprecate iommu_hwdom_inclusive and leave it disabled by default · b7e8dee0

    This option is unique to x86 PV dom0's, but it is not sensible to have a
    catch-all which blindly maps all non-RAM regions into the IOMMU.
    
    The map-reserved option remains, and covers all the buggy firmware issues that
    I am aware of.  The two common cases are legacy USB keyboard emulation, and
    the BMC mailbox used by vendor firmware in NICs/HBAs to report information
    back to the iLO/iDRAC/etc for remote remote management purposes.
    
    A specific advantage of this change is that x86 dom0's IOMMU setup is now
    consistent between PV and PVH.
    
    This change is not expected to have any impact, due to map-reserved remaining.
    In the unlikely case that it does cause an issue, we should introduce other
    map-$SPECIFIC options rather than re-introducing this catch-all.
