Subject: [PATCH 0/7] iommu/amd: Always allow to map huge pages

Hi,

the AMD IOMMU driver had an issue for a long time where it
didn't allow to map a huge-page when smaller mappings
existed at that address range before. The VFIO driver even
had a workaround for that behavior.

These patches fix the issue and remove the workaround from
the VFIO driver.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg
