intel-iommu: Add option to exclude integrated GPU only

Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/935270
Bug-Kali: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=5644

There is still laptop firmware that touches the integrated GPU behind
the operating system's back, and doesn't say so in the RMRR table.
Enabling the IOMMU for all devices causes breakage, but turning it off
for all graphics devices seems like a major weakness.

Add an option, intel_iommu=intgpu_off, to exclude only integrated GPUs
from remapping.  This is a narrower exclusion than igfx_off: it only
affects Intel devices on the root bus.  Devices attached through an
external port (Thunderbolt or ExpressCard) won't be on the root bus.
