Subject: [PATCH 0/11] Large Page Support for IOMMU-API and KVM

Hi,

here is a patch set which implements support for variable page sizes in the
IOMMU-API and changes the KVM device passthrough code to map the guest physical
memory with the best page sizes.

With this code a guest with 1GB of memory mapped with a 1GB page will not use
4kb PTEs in the IO page table but will map this memory with these page sizes:

512k, 128k, <io hole>, 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M, 32M, 64M, 128M, 256M and 512M

instead.

This code also changes the AMD IOMMU driver to implement these page sizes in
the IO page tables.
Please review these patches and send me any comments you might have :-)

To test this code some fixes in the AMD IOMMU driver are required which are
currently in the -tip tree and will probably hit upstream soon. If anybody want
to test this code please pull the code from 

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/linux-2.6-iommu.git iommu/largepages

This branch is based on avi/master and contains the fixes and the patches from
this patchset.

Thanks,

	Joerg
