Some systems only need to deal with DMA masks for PCI devices.
For these systems, we can avoid the need for a platform hook and
instead use a pci controller based hook.

Scott's patch 1c98025c6c95 "Dynamic DMA zone limits" changed
dma_direct_alloc_coherent() to start using dev-&gt;coherent_dma_mask.

That seems fair enough, but it exposes the fact that some of the drivers
we care about on IBM platforms aren't setting the coherent mask.

The proper fix is to have drivers set the coherent mask and also have
the platform code honor it.

For now, just restrict the dynamic DMA zone limits to the platforms that
need it.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Override dma_get_required_mask()</title>

<id>fe7e85c6f5ff63a8cd081deb35e58a0bd47589cd</id>
<content type='text'>
The dma_get_required_mask() function is used by some drivers to
query the platform about what DMA mask is needed to cover all of
memory. This is a bit of a strange semantic when we have to choose
between IOMMU translation or bypass, but essentially what it means
is "what DMA mask will give best performances".

Currently, our IOMMU backend always returns a 32-bit mask here, we
don't do anything special to it when we have bypass available. This
causes some drivers to choose a 32-bit mask, thus losing the ability
to use the bypass window, thinking this is more efficient. The problem
was reported from the driver of following device:

0004:03:00.0 0107: 1000:0087 (rev 05)
0004:03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios \
             Logic SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05)

This patch adds an override of that function in order to, instead,
return a 64-bit mask whenever a bypass window is available in order
for drivers to prefer this configuration.

FSL PCI cannot directly address the whole lower 4 GiB due to
conflicts with PCICSRBAR and outbound windows, and thus
max_direct_dma_addr is less than 4GiB.  Honor that limit in
dma_direct_alloc_coherent().

Note that setting the DMA mask to 31 bits is not an option, since many
PCI drivers would fail if we reject 32-bit DMA in dma_supported(), and
we have no control over the setting of coherent_dma_mask if
dma_supported() returns true.

Platform code can call limit_zone_pfn() to set appropriate limits
for ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32, and dma_direct_alloc_coherent() will
select a suitable zone based on a device's mask and the pfn limits that
platform code has configured.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Add iommu DMA bypass support for IODA2</title>

This patch adds the support for to create a direct iommu "bypass"
window on IODA2 bridges (such as Power8) allowing to bypass iommu
page translation completely for 64-bit DMA capable devices, thus
significantly improving DMA performances.

Additionally, this adds a hook to the struct iommu_table so that
the IOMMU API / VFIO can disable the bypass when external ownership
is requested, since in that case, the device will be used by an
environment such as userspace or a KVM guest which must not be
allowed to bypass translations.

Commit 9adc5374 ('common: dma-mapping: introduce mmap method') added a
generic method for implementing mmap user call to dma_map_ops structure.

This patch converts ARM and PowerPC architectures (the only providers of
dma_mmap_coherent/dma_mmap_writecombine calls) to use this generic
dma_map_ops based call and adds a generic cross architecture
definition for dma_mmap_attrs, dma_mmap_coherent, dma_mmap_writecombine
functions.

The generic mmap virt_to_page-based fallback implementation is provided for
architectures which don't provide their own implementation for mmap method.
