The parameter 'iommu_dev_iotlb_timeout' specifies the timeout
of device IOTLB invalidation in milliseconds. By default, the
timeout is 1000 milliseconds, which can be boot-time changed.

We also confirmed with VT-d hardware team that 1 milliseconds
is large enough for VT-d IOMMU internal invalidation.

the existing panic() is eliminated and we bubble up the timeout
of device IOTLB invalidation for further processing, as the
PCI-e Address Translation Services (ATS) mandates a timeout of
60 seconds for device IOTLB invalidation. Obviously we can't
spin for 60 seconds or otherwise Xen hypervisor hangs.
