[ This is part of the patch pile to move SMMUv3 over to the generic page
table:
1) Introduction of new gather items and RISCV usage
  https://patch.msgid.link/r/0-v1-54e7264d71b4+17cc3-iommu_riscv_inv_jgg@nvidia.com
2) Remove SMMUv3 struct arm_smmu_cmdq_ent
3) Organize the SMMUv3 invalidation flow so iommupt can use it
4) Use the generic iommu page table for SMMUv3

The whole branch is here:

]

The invalidation logic has this multi-step process where it first
writes the command into a 32 byte struct arm_smmu_cmdq_ent, then it
calls a function which converts it into a 16 byte HW struct, and
sometimes it then edits the HW struct a little bit before passing it
off to the batch or submission functions.

Instead just generate the HW struct directly by moving the FIELD_PREP
blocks out of the big case statement and into helper functions. Call the
right function in all the places that were building arm_smmu_cmdq_ent.

Add a type for the CMDQ entry similar to the STE/CD types that wraps the
two u64s for clarity and use it everywhere.

This is intended to have no functional change. It makes the following
patches work better and removes a bunch of LOC. I've run several AI tools
with instruction to look for functional changes, which did find one subtle
mistake in PRI response.

The removal of arm_smmu_cmdq_build_cmd() also achieves what Mostafa is
doing in the pkvm series by making the command formation entirely header
based with the arm_smmu_make_cmd_*() mini inlines.

This series has no dependencies. Several people have already tested this
on various ARM systems along with the full iommupt conversion.

Jason Gunthorpe (9):
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Add struct arm_smmu_cmd to represent the HW format
    command
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Use the HW arm_smmu_cmd in cmdq selection functions
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Use the HW arm_smmu_cmd in cmdq submission
    functions
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Convert arm_smmu_cmdq_batch cmds to struct
    arm_smmu_cmd
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Remove CMDQ_OP_CFGI_CD_ALL from
    arm_smmu_cmdq_build_cmd()
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Directly encode simple commands
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Directly encode CMDQ_OP_ATC_INV
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Directly encode CMDQ_OP_SYNC
  iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Directly encode TLBI commands
