Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).
We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
things to go very wrong later on.
This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
"bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
about how the low power state actually works on them.

At the moment all queues in a multiqueue adapter will serialise
against the IOMMU table lock. This is proving to be a big issue,
especially with 10Gbit ethernet.
This patch creates 4 pools and tries to spread the load across
them. If the table is under 1GB in size we revert back to the
original behaviour of 1 pool and 1 largealloc pool.
We create a hash to map CPUs to pools. Since we prefer interrupts to
be affinitised to primary CPUs, without some form of hashing we are
very likely to end up using the same pool. As an example, POWER7
has 4 way SMT and with 4 pools all primary threads will map to the
same pool.
The largealloc pool is reduced from 1/2 to 1/4 of the space to
partially offset the overhead of breaking the table up into pools.
Some performance numbers were obtained with a Chelsio T3 adapter on

Version 2.06 of the POWER ISA introduced enhanced touch instructions,

POWER7 copy_tofrom_user loop. Since the setup is quite complicated
and we have to use an eieio to ensure correct ordering of the "GO"
command we only do this for copies above 4kB.
To quantify any performance improvements we need a working set
bigger than the caches so we operate on a 1GB file:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1024
And we compare how fast we can read the file:
# dd if=/tmp/foo of=/dev/null bs=1M

after: 9.6 GB/s

The worst case for this patch will be a completely L1 cache contained

An upcoming release of firmware will add DDW extensions, in particular
an API to "reset" the DMA window to the original configuration (32-bit,
2GB in size). With that API available, we can safely remove the default
window, increasing the resources available to firmware for creation of
larger windows for the slot in question -- if we encounter an error, we
can use the new API to reset the state of the slot.
Further, this same release of firmware will make it a hard requirement
for OSes to release the existing window before any other windows will be
shown as available, to avoid conflicts in addressing between the two
windows.
In anticipation of these changes, always remove the default window
before we do any DDW manipulations.
