Hi Ben,
The patch tests well; bt there was one change I didn't understand ...

This is zero now, but if anyone ever changes IOMMU_PAGE_SHIFT to a
value oter than 12, then the below will break:

since this shift does need to be made, if IOMMU_PAGE_SHIFT != TCE_SHIFT

I'd argue that the right fix would have been

And do *not* remove these lines... certainly, they would have to be
put back in if we made iommu_page_size to be a variable in the iommu
table..
