Just went through a test run with this, and this breaks any non Device
Table allocation when PAGE_SIZE != 64K.

The following hunk fixes it:

@@ -806,7 +806,7 @@ static int its_alloc_tables(struct its_node *its)
 		u64 val = readq_relaxed(its->base + GITS_BASER + i * 8);
 		u64 type = GITS_BASER_TYPE(val);
 		u64 entry_size = GITS_BASER_ENTRY_SIZE(val);
-		int order = 0;
+		int order = get_order(psz);
 		int alloc_size;
 		u64 tmp;
 		void *base;

I'll fold it in to the original patch, but I'd be grateful if you could
do a slightly more thorough testing before sending patches.

Thanks,

	M.
