It seems that the occasional data corruption observed with the tg3
driver wasn't due to missing barriers after all, but rather seems to
be due to the DART (= IOMMU) in the U4 northbridge reading stale
IOMMU table entries from memory due to a race. This fixes it by
making the CPU read the entry back from memory before using it.

Better late than never...
Respin based on previous comment. Only remaining issue last time was an
extra mb() that I've taken out.

Allocate IOMMU tables local to the relevant node.

Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.
Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.
Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).
iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

it's int __iomem *, not int * __iomem...

Currently most callers of lmb_alloc() don't check if it worked or not, if it
ever does weird bad things will probably happen. The few callers who do check
just panic or BUG_ON.
So make lmb_alloc() panic internally, to catch bugs at the source. The few
callers who did check the result no longer need to.
The only caller that did anything interesting with the return result was
careful_allocation(). For it we create __lmb_alloc_base() which _doesn't_ panic
automatically, a little messy, but passable.

Rpn is assigned every time in the loop, no need to increase it too.

The patch enabling the new G5's with U4 broke initialization of the DART
driver, causing it to trigger a BUG_ON for a case that is actually
valid. This patch fixes it:

This adds some very basic support for the new machines, including the
Quad G5 (tested), and other new dual core based machines and iMac G5
iSight (untested). This is still experimental ! There is no thermal
control yet, there is no proper handing of MSIs, etc.. but it
boots, I have all 4 cores up on my machine. Compared to the previous
version of this patch, this one adds DART IOMMU support for the U4
chipset and thus should work fine on setups with more than 2Gb of RAM.
