So far it's assumed possible to map the guest RAM 1:1 to the bus, which
works with a small number of devices. SRIOV changes it as the user can
configure hundreds VFs and since phyp preallocates TCEs and does not
allow IOMMU pages bigger than 64K, it has to limit the number of TCEs
per a PE to limit waste of physical pages.

As of today, if the assumed direct mapping is not possible, DDW creation
is skipped and the default DMA window "ibm,dma-window" is used instead.

Using the DDW instead of the default DMA window may allow to expand the
amount of memory that can be DMA-mapped, given the number of pages (TCEs)
may stay the same and the default DMA window offers only 4k-pages
while DDW may offer larger pages (64k).

Patch #1 replaces hard-coded 4K page size with a variable containing the
correct page size for the window.

Patch #2 makes sure IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE() <= PAGE_SIZE, to avoid mapping
pages from other processess.

Patch #3 will save TCEs for small allocations when
IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE() < PAGE_SIZE.

Patch #4 let small allocations use largepool if there is no more space
left in the other pools, thus allowing the whole DMA window to be used by
smaller allocations.

Patch #5 introduces iommu_table_in_use(), and replace manual bit-field
checking where it's used. It will be used for aborting enable_ddw() if
there is any current iommu allocation and we are trying single window
indirect mapping.

Patch #6 introduces iommu_pseries_alloc_table() that will be helpful
when indirect mapping needs to replace the iommu_table.

Patch #7 adds helpers for adding DDWs in the list.

Patch #8 refactors enable_ddw() so it returns if direct mapping is
possible, instead of DMA offset. It helps for next patches on
indirect DMA mapping and also allows DMA windows starting at 0x00.

Patch #9 bring new helper to simplify enable_ddw(), allowing
some reorganization for introducing indirect mapping DDW.

Patch #10 adds new helper _iommu_table_setparms() and use it in other
*setparams*() to fill iommu_table. It will also be used for creating a
new iommu_table for indirect mapping.

Patch #11 updates remove_dma_window() to accept different property names,
so we can introduce a new property for indirect mapping.

Patch #12 extracts find_existing_ddw_windows() into
find_existing_ddw_windows_named(), and calls it by it's property name.
This will be useful when the property for indirect mapping is created,
so we can search the device-tree for both properties.

Patch #13:
Instead of destroying the created DDW if it doesn't map the whole
partition, make use of it instead of the default DMA window as it improves
performance. Also, update the iommu_table and re-generate the pools.
It introduces a new property name for DDW with indirect DMA mapping.

Patch #14:
Does some renaming of 'direct window' to 'dma window', given the DDW
created can now be also used in indirect mapping if direct mapping is not
available.

All patches were tested into an LPAR with an Ethernet VF:
4005:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family
[ConnectX-4 Virtual Function]

Patchset was tested with a 64GB DDW which did not map the whole
partition (128G).
