I found the issue now. I'll work with Vincent to send out V3.

The problem is because in the information in the IOMMU Attributes field 
of the IVHD header type 40h (offset byte 20 = struct 
ivhd_header.efr_attr) is incorrect. It was correct in the IVHD type 
10h.... Sigh :(

However, the same information in the MMIO offset 4000h Counter 
configuration Register is correct. So, I'll try to have the patch get 
information from here instead.

Earlier, we had another issue with IOMMU PERF intialization, and it was 
disabled. So, it hides this bug when we were testing the patch earlier.
Now that we had a workaround for that bug n v4.5-rc5, it bombs in the 
init_iommu_perf_ctr().

So, if you want to test out the rest of this patch series, just simply 
comment out this function, and it should boot.
