At the moment we create a small window only for 32bit devices, the window
maps 0..2GB of the PCI space only. For other devices we either use
a sketchy bypass or hardware bypass but the former can only work if
the amount of RAM is no bigger than the device's DMA mask and the latter
requires devices
We allocate only the first level of multilevel TCE tables for KVM
already (alloc_userspace_copy==true), and the rest is allocated on demand.
This is not enabled though for bare metal.
This removes the KVM limitation (implicit, via the alloc_userspace_copy
parameter) and always allocates just the f
POWER8 and newer support a bypass mode which maps all host memory to
PCI buses so an IOMMU table is not always required. However if we fail to
create such a table, the DMA setup fails and the kernel does not boot.
This skips the 32bit DMA setup check if the bypass is selected.

This is an attempt to allow DMA masks between 32..59 which are not large
enough to use either a PHB3 bypass mode or a sketchy bypass. Depending
on the max order, up to 40 is usually available.
This is an optimization and not a bug fix for DMA API usage.
Changelogs are in the patches.

pnv_tce() returns a pointer to a TCE entry and originally a TCE table
would be pre-allocated. For the default case of 2GB window the table
needs only a single level and that is fine. However if more levels are
requested, it is possible to get a race when 2 threads want a pointer
to a TCE entry from
There is a race between releasing an irq on one cpu and fetching it
from XIVE on another cpu. When such released irq appears in a queue,
we take it from the queue but we do not change the current priority

The test on generic_handle_irq() catches interrupt events that
were served on a target CPU while the source interrupt was being
shutdown on another CPU. This may lead to a blocked interrupt queue

Hello,
This version is mostly about splitting up patch 2/3 into three separate
