    AMD/IOMMU: Process softirqs while building dom0 iommu mappings
    
    Recent changes which have made their way into xen-4.2 stable have pushed the
    runtime of construct_dom0() over 5 seconds, which has caused regressions in
    XenServer testing because of our 5 second watchdog.
    
    The root cause is that amd_iommu_dom0_init() does not process softirqs and 
in
    particular the nmi_timer which causes the watchdog to decide that no useful
    progress is being made.
    
    This patch adds periodic calls to process_pending_softirqs() at the same
    interval as the Intel variant of this function.  The server which was 
failing
    with the watchdog test now boots reliably with a timeout of 1 second.
