iommu sg merging: add device_dma_parameters structure
IOMMUs merges scatter/gather segments without considering a low level driver's restrictions. The problem is that IOMMUs can't access to the limitations because they are in request_queue. This patchset introduces a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device. The bus specific structures (like pci_dev) includes device_dma_parameters. Low level drivers can use dma_set_max_seg_size to tell IOMMUs about the restrictions. We can move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct device_dma_parameters later (needs some cleanups before that). This includes patches for all the IOMMUs that could merge sg (x86_64, ppc, IA64, alpha, sparc64, and parisc) though only the ppc patch was tested. The patches for other IOMMUs are only compile tested. This patch: Add a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device. - there are only max_segment_size and segment_boundary_mask there but we'll move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct device_dma_parameters later. segment_boundary_mask is not supported yet. - new accessors for the dma parameters are added. So we can easily change where to place struct device_dma_parameters in the future. - dma_get_max_seg_size returns 64K if dma_parms in struct device isn't set up properly. 64K is the default max_segment_size in the block layer.
