Hi all,

Here's the first bit of lock contention removal to chew on - feedback
welcome! Note that for the current users of the io-pgtable framework,
this is most likely to simply push more contention onto the io-pgtable
lock, so may not show a great improvement alone. Will and I both have
rough proof-of-concept implementations of lock-free io-pgtable code
which we need to sit down and agree on at some point, hopefullt fairly
soon.

I've taken the opportunity to do a bit of cleanup and refactoring
within the series to make the final state of the code nicer, but the
diffstat still turns out surprisingly reasonable in the end - it would
actually be negative but for the new comments!

Magnus, Shimoda-san, the first two patches should be of interest as they
constitute the allocation rework I mentioned a while back[1] - if you
still need to implement that scary workaround, this should make it
simple to hook IPMMU-specific calls into the alloc and free paths, and
let the driver take care of the details internally.

Robin.
