[PATCH v3] arm: msm: Add MSM IOMMU support.

> Why use both pr_err and printk(KERN_ERR ?

I had been using pr_err for printing badness messages internal to the
driver, but I guess their functionality is largely paralleled by return
error codes. I had been using printk(KERN_ERR for messages that have been
caused by an event that is more external to the driver and its callers
(like the data for the page fault, which is most likely to be caused by a
misprogrammed client). pr_err gives other information like function name,
line number, etc, which would be noise when looking at an iommu page
fault. And, I guess if the pr_err stuff got turned off, you would want the
page fault data to still be printed... but that's kind of a minor point.

I am actually considering doing away with all the pr_err lines entirely
because they typically also result in returning -Ewhatever and other IOMMU
drivers don't give this level of error reporting. But, they may be helpful
to the users of the API. What are people's thoughts on this?

Thanks
Steve
