Subject: [PATCH]iommu-iotlb-flushing

The following patch is for batching up the flushing of the IOTLB for
the DMAR implementation found in the Intel VT-d hardware.  It works by
building a list of to be flushed IOTLB entries and a bitmap list of
which DMAR engine they are from.

After either a high water mark (250 accessible via debugfs) or 10ms the
list of iova's will be reclaimed and the DMAR engines associated are
IOTLB-flushed.

This approach recovers 15 to 20% of the performance lost when using the
IOMMU for my netperf udp stream benchmark with small packets.  It can be
disabled with a kernel boot parameter
"intel_iommu=strict".

Its use does weaken the IOMMU protections a bit.

I would like to see this go into MM for a while and then onto mainline.

Thanks,
