    powerpc: Override dma_get_required_mask by platform hook and ops · 6a5c7be5

    The hook dma_get_required_mask is supposed to return the mask required
    by the platform to operate efficently.  The generic version of
    dma_get_required_mask in driver/base/platform.c returns a mask based
    only on max_pfn.  However, this is likely too big for iommu systems
    and could be too small for platforms that require a dma offset or have
    a secondary window at a high offset.
    
    Override the default, provide a hook in ppc_md used by pseries lpar and
    cell, and provide the default answer based on memblock_end_of_DRAM(),
    with hooks for get_dma_offset, and provide an implementation for iommu
    that looks at the defined table size.  Coverting from the end address
    to the required bit mask is based on the generic implementation.
    
    The need for this was discovered when the qla2xxx driver switched to
    64 bit dma then reverted to 32 bit when dma_get_required_mask said
    32 bits was sufficient.
