Need to pass gfp_t parameter. Repeates a couple of times.

Is it not possible here to drop the lock and do the alloc with GFP_KERNEL
and deal with the resulting race? That is done in other parts of the
kernel.

This may be able to become a GFP_KERNEL alloc since interrupts are enabled
at this point?

GFP_KERNEL alloc possible?

Replace by

iommu_devinfo_cache = KMEM_CACHE(iommu_devinfo, SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN)
