Subject: [PATCH 0/5] intel-iommu fixes

This series implements several fixes for intel-iommu.  The first
is to make use of the device coherent_dma_mask when allocating
coherent DMA buffers, for which we move dma_generic_alloc_coherent
out of the x86 code so we can use it by both of the current users
of intel-iommu.  Next, we add a little more to detecting when a
device can't support passthrough mode.  Then we reinstate RMRRs
for devices that get kicked out of passthrough mode.  And finally,
a trivial printk change to be less verbose on boot.

Ideally I'd like to entertain the idea of getting these into 2.6.32
because the coherent mapping issue is actually a regression since
2.6.31 and will cause some devices to fail to initialize in passthrough
mode (cciss for one).  Thanks,

Alex

Alex Williamson (5):
      intel-iommu: Quiet unnecessary output
      intel-iommu: Reinstate RMRRs if a device is removed from passthrough domain
      intel-iommu: Use max_pfn to determine whether a device can passthrough
      intel-iommu: Use dma_generic_alloc_coherent() for passthrough mappings
      dma: create dma_generic_alloc/free_coherent()
