Loading IORT table from initrd can be used to fix severe firmware IORT defects temporarily before platform/BIOS vendor releases an upgraded BIOS binary. Moreover, it is very powerful to debug SMMU node/device probe, MSI allocation, stream id translation and IORT table from firmware. It is also very useful to enable SMMU and devices behind SMMU before firmware is ready. This patch adds ACPI_SIG_IORT to the table, which enables IORT from initrd to override which from firmware.
