[PATCH 0/4] arm64: IOMMU-backed DMA mapping

Hi all,

Here's the cleaned-up and nominally ready-to-go IOMMU DMA mapping series,
with (I think) all the outstanding comments[1] addressed. I appreciate
I've probably missed the boat for 4.2, but I'm ever the optimist...

Major changes since RFC:
- Renamed things, shuffled things around, and removed some of the less
  useful abstraction for simplicity and clarity.
- Fixed iommu_dma_alloc to handle compound pages and map buffers as
  scatterlists.
- Filled the API holes like size-aligned allocations and get_sgtable.
- Solved the problem of attching devices to domains before the devices
  are created, which confuses IOMMU drivers like the ARM SMMU.

A branch is available at:
   git://linux-arm.org/linux-rm iommu/dma

In terms of where we go from here, this is more or less what I envisage:
- Get the current functionality merged to unblock arm64 IOMMU work
- Implement proper managed IOMMU domains around this, integrating the
  iova_domain into the iommu_domain itself, and getting rid of the
  iommu_dma_domain wrapper.
- Find all of the ad-hoc "managed domain" implementations in drivers
  currently using the arm_iommu_* functions and convert them to "proper"
  managed domains.
- Finally, with the external users taken care of, bring arch/arm over
  to the common DMA mapping code.

In the meantime, Laurent's proposal for probe deferral[2] offers hope
that the bus notifier dance may only need to be short-lived, and I'm
hoping to spend some more time on DT-based IOMMU group handling for
platform devices, which should hopefully tie in with default domains
to make the add_device callback mostly redundant.
