This patch enables DCA support on multiple-IOH/multiple-IIO architectures.
It modifies dca module by replacing single dca_providers list
with dca_domains list, each domain containing separate list of providers.
This approach lets dca driver manage multiple domains, i.e. sets of providers
and requesters mapped back to the same PCI root complex device.
The driver takes care to register each requester to a provider
from the same domain.

In two dca files copyright and license headers are missing.
This patch adds them there.

This patch adds to ioatdma and dca modules
support for Intel I/OAT DMA engine ver.3 (aka CB3 device).
The main features of I/OAT ver.3 are:
* 8 single channel DMA devices (8 channels total)
* 8 DCA providers, each can accept 2 requesters
* 8-bit TAG values and 32-bit extended APIC IDs

Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This
patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA
services with devices that offer DCA services.
In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag
bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU. However, different
CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods
for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a
hardware specific magic incantation. This interface is a way for DCA
clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing
to know the specifics.
