powerpc/pseries/iommu: Make use of DDW for indirect mapping



So far it's assumed possible to map the guest RAM 1:1 to the bus, which
works with a small number of devices. SRIOV changes it as the user can
configure hundreds VFs and since phyp preallocates TCEs and does not
allow IOMMU pages bigger than 64K, it has to limit the number of TCEs
per a PE to limit waste of physical pages.

As of today, if the assumed direct mapping is not possible, DDW creation
is skipped and the default DMA window "ibm,dma-window" is used instead.

By using DDW, indirect mapping  can get more TCEs than available for the
default DMA window, and also get access to using much larger pagesizes
(16MB as implemented in qemu vs 4k from default DMA window), causing a
significant increase on the maximum amount of memory that can be IOMMU
mapped at the same time.

Indirect mapping will only be used if direct mapping is not a
possibility.

For indirect mapping, it's necessary to re-create the iommu_table with
the new DMA window parameters, so iommu_alloc() can use it.

Removing the default DMA window for using DDW with indirect mapping
is only allowed if there is no current IOMMU memory allocated in
the iommu_table. enable_ddw() is aborted otherwise.

Even though there won't be both direct and indirect mappings at the
same time, we can't reuse the DIRECT64_PROPNAME property name, or else
an older kexec()ed kernel can assume direct mapping, and skip
iommu_alloc(), causing undesirable behavior.
So a new property name DMA64_PROPNAME "linux,dma64-ddr-window-info"
was created to represent a DDW that does not allow direct mapping.
