[PATCH rc v1 2/4] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Ignore STE MEV when computing the update sequence

[Nicolin Chen]

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at nvidia.com>

Nested CD tables set the MEV bit to try to reduce multi-fault spamming on
the hypervisor. Since MEV is in STE word 1 this causes a breaking update
sequence that is not required and impacts real workloads.

For the purposes of STE updates the value of MEV doesn't matter, if it is
set/cleared early or late it just results in a change to the fault reports
that must be supported by the kernel anyhow. The spec says:

 Note: Software must expect, and be able to deal with, coalesced fault
 records even when MEV == 0.

So ignore MEV when computing the update sequence to avoid creating a
breaking update.

Fixes: da0c56520e88 ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Set MEV bit in nested STE for DoS mitigations")
