Subject: [PATCH 1/2] IOMMU Identity Mapping Support: iommu_identity_mapping definition

IOMMU Identity Mapping Support: iommu_identity_mapping definition

Identity mapping for IOMMU defines a single domain to 1:1 map all pci devices
to all usable memory.

This will reduces map/unmap overhead in DMA API's and improve IOMMU performance.
On 10Gb network cards, Netperf shows no performance degradation compared to
non-IOMMU performance.

This method may lose some of DMA remapping benefits like isolation.

The first patch defines iommu_identity_mapping varialbe which controls the
identity mapping code and is 0 by default.

Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>
