In converting intel-iommu over to the common IOMMU DMA ops, it quietly
lost the functionality of its "forcedac" option. Since this is a handy
thing both for testing and for performance optimisation on certain
platforms, reimplement it under the common IOMMU parameter namespace.
For the sake of fixing the inadvertent breakage of the Intel-specific
parameter, remove the dmar_forcedac remnants and hook it up as an alias
while documenting the transition to the new common parameter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
