* 'stable/xen-swiotlb.bugfix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/swiotlb-2.6:
swiotlb: Export swioltb_nr_tbl and utilize it as appropiate.
By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to
whatever value is passed in via swiotlb_init_with_tbl function.
The default value passed in is 64MB. However, if the user provides
the 'swiotlb=<nslabs>' the default value is ignored and
the value provided by the user is used... Except when the SWIOTLB
is used under Xen - there the default value of 64MB is used and
the Xen-SWIOTLB has no mechanism to get the 'io_tlb_nslabs' filled
out by setup_io_tlb_npages functions. This patch provides a function
for the Xen-SWIOTLB to call to see if the io_tlb_nslabs is set
and if so use that value.

This patchset:
PV guests under Xen are running in an non-contiguous memory architecture.
When PCI pass-through is utilized, this necessitates an IOMMU for
translating bus (DMA) to virtual and vice-versa and also providing a
mechanism to have contiguous pages for device drivers operations (say DMA
operations).
Specifically, under Xen the Linux idea of pages is an illusion. It
assumes that pages start at zero and go up to the available memory. To
help with that, the Linux Xen MMU provides a lookup mechanism to
translate the page frame numbers (PFN) to machine frame numbers (MFN)
and vice-versa. The MFN are the "real" frame numbers. Furthermore
memory is not contiguous. Xen hypervisor stitches memory for guests
from different pools, which means there is no guarantee that PFN==MFN
and PFN+1==MFN+1. Lastly with Xen 4.0, pages (in debug mode) are
allocated in descending order (high to low), meaning the guest might
never get any MFN's under the 4GB mark.
