Mark Langsdorf fe2245c905 x86: enable GART-IOMMU only after setting up protection methods
The current code to set up the GART as an IOMMU enables GART
translations before it removes the aperture from the kernel memory
map, sets the GART PTEs to UC, sets up the guard and scratch
pages, or does a wbinvd().  This leaves the possibility of cache
aliasing open and can cause system crashes.

Re-order the code so as to enable the GART translations only
after all safeguards are in place and the tlb has been flushed.

AMD has tested this patch on both Istanbul systems and 1st
generation Opteron systems with APG enabled and seen no adverse
effects.  Istanbul systems with HT Assist enabled sometimes
see MCE errors due to cache artifacts with the unmodified
code.
