net: thunderx: Fix IOMMU translation faults
ACPI support has been added to ARM IOMMU driver in 4.10 kernel and that has resulted in VNIC interfaces throwing translation faults when kernel is booted with ACPI as driver was not using DMA API. This patch fixes the issue by using DMA API which inturn will create translation tables when IOMMU is enabled. Also VNIC doesn't have a seperate receive buffer ring per receive queue, so there is no 1:1 descriptor index matching between CQE_RX and the index in buffer ring from where a buffer has been used for DMA'ing. Unlike other NICs, here it's not possible to maintain dma address to virt address mappings within the driver. This leaves us no other choice but to use IOMMU's IOVA address conversion API to get buffer's virtual address which can be given to network stack for processing.
