Subject: [PATCH 2/2] virtio_ring: Use DMA API if memory is encrypted

From: Thiago Jung Bauermann <bauerman@...ux.ibm.com>

Normally, virtio enables DMA API with VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM, which must
be set by both device and guest driver. However, as a hack, when DMA API
returns physical addresses, guest driver can use the DMA API; even though
device does not set VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM and just uses physical
addresses.

Doing this works-around POWER secure guests for which only the bounce
buffer is accessible to the device, but which don't set
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM due to a set of hypervisor and architectural bugs.
To guard against platform changes, breaking any of these assumptions down
the road, we check at probe time and fail if that's not the case.
