d618382ba5 iommu-common: Fix error code used in iommu_tbl_range_{alloc,free}().
The value returned from iommu_tbl_range_alloc() (and the one passed
in as a fourth argument to iommu_tbl_range_free) is not a DMA address,
it is rather an index into the IOMMU page table.

Therefore using DMA_ERROR_CODE is not appropriate.

Use a more type matching error code define, IOMMU_ERROR_CODE, and
update all users of this interface.

ff7d37a502 Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lock
Investigation of multithreaded iperf experiments on an ethernet
interface show the iommu->lock as the hottest lock identified by
lockstat, with something of the order of  21M contentions out of
27M acquisitions, and an average wait time of 26 us for the lock.
This is not efficient. A more scalable design is to follow the ppc
model, where the iommu_map_table has multiple pools, each stretching
over a segment of the map, and with a separate lock for each pool.
This model allows for better parallelization of the iommu map search.

This patch adds the iommu range alloc/free function infrastructure.

c12f048ffd sparc: Revert generic IOMMU allocator.
I applied the wrong version of this patch series, V4 instead
of V10, due to a patchwork bundling snafu.
