** Description changed:

  GCP is requesting the backport of the patch "6b080c4e815ceba3c08f
  iommu/amd: Add map/unmap_pages() iommu_domain_ops callback support" from
  upstream 6.2 to the 5.19 (kinetic) gcp kernel
  
  The following two patches are required for the backport:
   6b080c4e815ceba3c08ffa980c858595c07e7 iommu/amd/io-pgtable: Implement 
map_pages io_pgtable_ops callback
   251c4db699ca7b966db7e59e8663a231c96ba iommu/amd/io-pgtable: Implement 
unmap_pages io_pgtable_ops callback

  Impact:
-  - This allows the AMD iommu driver to map/unmap multiple pages in one call. 
GCP states that this also has a security side-effect which they are interested 
in.

hardware.
