Linas Vepstas 5d2efba64b [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems
The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:

 iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1

Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.

This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.

As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).

In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.
