x86, iommu: Add proper dependency sort routine (and sanity check).
We are using a very simple sort routine which sorts the .iommu_table array in the order of dependencies. Specifically each structure of iommu_table_entry has a field 'depend' which contains the function pointer to the IOMMU that MUST be run before us. We sort the array of structures so that the struct iommu_table_entry with no 'depend' field are first, and then the subsequent ones are the ones for which the 'depend' function has been already invoked (in other words, precede us). Using the kernel's version 'sort', which is a mergeheap is feasible, but would require making the comparison operator scan recursivly the array to satisfy the "heapify" process: setting the levels properly. The end result would much more complex than it should be an it is just much simpler to utilize this simple sort routine.
