Subject: [PATCH v5 0/4] Allow bigger 64bit window by removing default DMA window

There are some devices in which a hypervisor may only allow 1 DMA window
to exist at a time, and in those cases, a DDW is never created to them,
since the default DMA window keeps using this resource.

LoPAR recommends this procedure:
1. Remove the default DMA window,
2. Query for which configs the DDW can be created,
3. Create a DDW.

Patch #1:
Create defines for outputs of ibm,ddw-applicable, so it's easier to
identify them.

Patch #2:
- After LoPAR level 2.8, there is an extension that can make
  ibm,query-pe-dma-windows to have 6 outputs instead of 5. This changes the
  order of the outputs, and that can cause some trouble. 
- query_ddw() was updated to check how many outputs the 
  ibm,query-pe-dma-windows is supposed to have, update the rtas_call() and
  deal correctly with the outputs in both cases.
- This patch looks somehow unrelated to the series, but it can avoid future
  problems on DDW creation.

Patch #3 moves the window-removing code from remove_ddw() to
remove_dma_window(), creating a way to delete any DMA window, so it can be
used to delete the default DMA window.

Patch #4 makes use of the remove_dma_window() from patch #3 to remove the
default DMA window before query_ddw(). It also implements a new rtas call
to recover the default DMA window, in case anything fails after it was
removed, and a DDW couldn't be created.

Changes since v4:
- Removed patches 5+ in order to deal with a feature at a time
- Remove unnecessary parentesis in patch #4
- Changed patch #4 title from 
  "Remove default DMA window before creating DDW"
- Included David Dai tested-by
- v4 link: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=190051&state=%2A&archive=both

Changes since v3:
- Introduces new patch #5, to prepare for an important change in #6
- struct iommu_table was not being updated, so include a way to do this
  in patch #6.
- Improved patch #4 based in a suggestion from Alexey, to make code
  more easily understandable
- v3 link: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=187348&state=%2A&archive=both

Changes since v2:
- Change the way ibm,ddw-extensions is accessed, using a proper function
  instead of doing this inline everytime it's used.
- Remove previous patch #6, as it doesn't look like it would be useful.
- Add new patch, for changing names from direct* to dma*, as indirect 
  mapping can be used from now on.
- Fix some typos, corrects some define usage.
- v2 link: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=185433&state=%2A&archive=both

Changes since v1:
- Add defines for ibm,ddw-applicable and ibm,ddw-extensions outputs
- Merge aux function query_ddw_out_sz() into query_ddw()
- Merge reset_dma_window() patch (prev. #2) into remove default DMA
  window patch (#4).
- Keep device_node *np name instead of using pdn in remove_*()
- Rename 'device_node *pdn' into 'parent' in new functions
- Rename dfl_win to default_win
- Only remove the default DMA window if there is no window available
  in first query.
- Check if default DMA window can be restored before removing it.
- Fix 'unitialized use' (found by travis mpe:ci-test)
- New patches #5 and #6
- v1 link: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=184420&state=%2A&archive=both

Special thanks for Alexey Kardashevskiy, Brian King and
Oliver O'Halloran for the feedback provided!
