<title>tile pci: enable IOMMU to support DMA for legacy devices</title>

This change uses the TRIO IOMMU to map the PCI DMA space and physical
memory at different addresses.  We also now use the dma_mapping_ops
to provide support for non-PCI DMA, PCIe DMA (64-bit) and legacy PCI
DMA (32-bit).  We use the kernel's software I/O TLB framework
(i.e. bounce buffers) for the legacy 32-bit PCI device support since
there are a limited number of TLB entries in the IOMMU and it is
non-trivial to handle indexing, searching, matching, etc.  For 32-bit
devices the performance impact of bounce buffers should not be a concern.

<title>arch/tile: introduce GXIO IORPC framework for tilegx</title>

<id>37b82b5de77083ada0202da9001ecec9affe4b10</id>
<content type='text'>
The GXIO I/O RPC subsystem handles exporting I/O hardware resources to
Linux and to applications running under Linux.

For instance, memory which is made available for I/O DMA must be mapped
by an I/O TLB; that means that such memory must be locked down by Linux,
so that it is not swapped or otherwise reused, as long as those I/O
TLB entries are active. Similarly, configuring direct hardware access
introduces new validation requirements. If a user application registers
memory, Linux must ensure that the supplied virtual addresses are valid,
and turn them into client physical addresses. Similarly, when Linux then
supplies those client physical addresses to the Tilera hypervisor, it
must in turn validate those before turning them into the real physical
addresses which are required by the hardware.

To the extent that these sorts of activities were required on previous
TILE architecture processors, they were implemented in a device-specific
fashion. This meant that every I/O device had its own Tilera hypervisor
driver, its own Linux driver, and in some cases its own user-level
library support. There was a large amount of more-or-less functionally
identical code in different places, particularly in the different Linux
drivers. For TILE-Gx, this support has been generalized into a common
framework, known as the I/O RPC framework or just IORPC.

The two "gxio" directories (one for headers, one for sources) start
with just a few files in each with this infrastructure commit, but
after adding support for the on-board I/O shims for networking, PCI,
USB, crypto, compression, I2CS, etc., there end up being about 20 files
in each directory.

More information on the IORPC framework is in the &lt;hv/iorpc.h&gt; header,
included in this commit.

This change adds support for a new "super" bit in the PTE, using the new
arch_make_huge_pte() method.  The Tilera hypervisor sees the bit set at a
given level of the page table and gangs together 4, 16, or 64 consecutive
pages from that level of the hierarchy to create a larger TLB entry.

One extra "super" page size can be specified at each of the three levels
of the page table hierarchy on tilegx, using the "hugepagesz" argument
on the boot command line.  A new hypervisor API is added to allow Linux
to tell the hypervisor how many PTEs to gang together at each level of
the page table.

To allow pre-allocating huge pages larger than the buddy allocator can
handle, this change modifies the Tilera bootmem support to put all of
memory on tilegx platforms into bootmem.

As part of this change I eliminate the vestigial CONFIG_HIGHPTE support,
which never worked anyway, and eliminate the hv_page_size() API in favor
of the standard vma_kernel_pagesize() API.

This change introduces new flags for the hv_install_context()
API that passes a page table pointer to the hypervisor.  Clients
can explicitly request 4K, 16K, or 64K small pages when they
install a new context.  In practice, the page size is fixed at
kernel compile time and the same size is always requested every
time a new page table is installed.

The &lt;hv/hypervisor.h&gt; header changes so that it provides more abstract
macros for managing "page" things like PFNs and page tables.  For
example there is now a HV_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL instead of the old
HV_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL.  The various PFN routines have been eliminated and
only PA- or PTFN-based ones remain (since PTFNs are always expressed
in fixed 2KB "page" size).  The page-table management macros are
renamed with a leading underscore and take page-size arguments with
the presumption that clients will use those macros in some single
place to provide the "real" macros they will use themselves.

I happened to notice the old hv_set_caching() API was totally broken
(it assumed 4KB pages) so I changed it so it would nominally work
correctly with other page sizes.

Tag modules with the page size so you can't load a module built with
a conflicting page size.  (And add a test for SMP while we're at it.)
