    Intel DMAR: remove parsing of 6-level paging capability
    
    Early versions of the VT-d spec mentioned 6-level paging support as a
    possible value for the SAGAW capability, but later versions removed it
    and SAGAW=0x10 is currently listed as a reserved value.
    
    The 6-level (agaw=64) entry in sagaw_bits is furthermore problematic
    with clang15 because the attempted comparison against 1ULL << 64 in
    dmar_maxaddr2mgaw() causes the compiler to elide the last iteration
    of the initial loop, which bypasses the subsequent logic to find the
    greatest HW-supported address width.  This results in 5-level paging
    always being selected regardless of whether the hardware supports it,
    which can result address translation failure due to invalid context-
    entry programming.
