Subject: [PATCH 0/2] swiotlb: Split up single swiotlb lock

From: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@...rosoft.com>

Traditionally swiotlb was not performance critical because it was only
used for slow devices. But in some setups, like TDX/SEV confidential
guests, all IO has to go through swiotlb. Currently swiotlb only has a
single lock. Under high IO load with multiple CPUs this can lead to
significat lock contention on the swiotlb lock.

Patch 1 is to introduce swiotlb area concept and split up single swiotlb
lock.
Patch 2 set swiotlb area number with lapic number


Tianyu Lan (2):
  swiotlb: Split up single swiotlb lock
  x86/ACPI: Set swiotlb area according to the number of lapic entry in
    MADT
