Addresses BenH comments with one exception: I've left the
IOMMU_POOL_HASH as is, so that powerpc can tailor it to their
convenience. 

I've not heard back from the IB folks, but I'm going to make
a judgement call here and go with the spin_lock. *If* they
report some significant benefit from the trylock, probably 
need to revisit this (and then probably start by re-exmaining
the hash function to avoid collisions, before resorting to 
trylock).

Sowmini Varadhan (3):
  Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and
    lock
  Make sparc64 use scalable lib/iommu-common.c functions
  Make LDC use common iommu poll management functions
