[PATCH kernel 0/6] powerpc/powernv/iommu: Optimize memory use

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

This patchset aims to reduce actual memory use for guests with
sparse memory. The pseries guest uses dynamic DMA windows to map
the entire guest RAM but it only actually maps onlined memory
which may be not be contiguous. I hit this when tried passing
through NVLink2-connected GPU RAM of NVIDIA V100 and trying to
map this RAM at the same offset as in the real hardware
forced me to rework I handle these windows.

This moves userspace-to-host-physical translation table
(iommu_table::it_userspace) from VFIO TCE IOMMU subdriver to
the platform code and reuses the already existing multilevel
TCE table code which we have for the hardware tables.
At last in 6/6 I switch to on-demand allocation so we do not
allocate huge chunks of the table if we do not have to;
there is some math in 6/6.


Please comment. Thanks.
