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.

Olof Johansson bc97ce951c [PATCH] powerpc: kill union tce_entry
It's been long overdue to kill the union tce_entry in the pSeries/iSeries
TCE code, especially since I asked the Summit guys to do it on the code
they copied from us.

Also, while I was at it, I cleaned up some whitespace.

Built and booted on pSeries, built on iSeries.

Arnd Bergmann 88ced03149 [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includes
include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.

This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.

David Gibson 8882a4da1c [PATCH] powerpc: Move various ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpc
This patch moves a bunch of files from arch/ppc64 and
include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into
arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc.  The file affected are:
	abs_addr.h
	compat.h
	lppaca.h
	paca.h
	tce.h
	cpu_setup_power4.S
	ioctl32.c
	firmware.c
	pacaData.c

The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile
changes are:
	- #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form
	- trailing whitespace removed
	- comments giving full paths removed
	- pacaData.c renamed paca.c to remove studlyCaps
	- Misplaced { moved in lppaca.h

Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
