    ACPI/IORT: Remove linker section for IORT entries probing · 316ca880
    Lorenzo Pieralisi authored
    The IORT linker section introduced by commit 34ceea27
    ("ACPI/IORT: Introduce linker section for IORT entries probing")
    was needed to make sure SMMU drivers are registered (and therefore
    probed) in the kernel before devices using the SMMU have a chance
    to probe in turn.
    
    Through the introduction of deferred IOMMU configuration the linker
    section based IORT probing infrastructure is not needed any longer, in
    that device/SMMU probe dependencies are managed through the probe
    deferral mechanism, making the IORT linker section infrastructure
    unused, so that it can be removed.
    
    Remove the unused IORT linker section probing infrastructure
    from the kernel to complete the ACPI IORT IOMMU configure probe
    deferral mechanism implementation.
