As reported in:

the bus connecting devices to an IOMMU bus can be smaller in size than
the IOMMU input address bits which results in devices DMA HW bugs in
particular related to IOVA allocation (ie chopping of higher address
bits owing to system bus HW capabilities mismatch with the IOMMU).

Fortunately this problem can be solved through an already present but never
used ACPI 6.2 firmware bindings (ie _DMA object) allowing to define the DMA
window for a specific bus in ACPI and therefore all upstream devices
connected to it.

This small patch series enables _DMA parsing in ACPI core code and
use it in ACPI IORT code in order to detect DMA ranges for devices and
update their data structures to make them work with their related DMA
addressing restrictions.
