There seems to be no change of renaming "arm_smmu_ctx_desc_cfg" to
"arm_smmu_cdtab_cfg". Even PATCH-8 only renames the local variable
"cdcfg" to "cd_table". Also, we should not use PATCH-8 to justify
this change, because it makes this patch less convincing since the
PATCH-8 might not get applied at all.

The commit message does not quite well describe why "replace s1_cfg
with cd_table" in the subject. It could mention that the goal here
is to move cdtab to the master structure. And "unwrap s1_cfg" might
be more fitting in the subject, IMHO.
