This patch series implements Address Translation Service support for
the Intel IOMMU. ATS makes the PCI Endpoint be able to request the
DMA address translation from the IOMMU and cache the translation in
the Endpoint, thus alleviate IOMMU pressure and improve the hardware
performance in the I/O virtualization environment.


Changelog: v2 -> v3
1, throw error message if VT-d hardware detects invalid descriptor
on Queued Invalidation interface (David Woodhouse)
2, avoid using pci_find_ext_capability every time when reading ATS
Invalidate Queue Depth (Matthew Wilcox)
Changelog: v1 -> v2
added 'static' prefix to a local LIST_HEAD (Andrew Morton)


Yu Zhao (6):
PCI: support the ATS capability
VT-d: parse ATSR in DMA Remapping Reporting Structure
VT-d: add queue invalidation fault status support
VT-d: add device IOTLB invalidation support
VT-d: cleanup iommu_flush_iotlb_psi and flush_unmaps
VT-d: support the device IOTLB

Um nevermind, this should go through the IOMMU tree (David?).

If it's possible, I'd like it go through the PCI tree because the ATS depends on the SR-IOV. This dependency is not reflected in this v3 series since the SR-IOV is not in-tree and I don't want to break the build after people apply the ATS on their tree.

So Dave, can I get an ack from you and let Jesse pull the IOMMU change to his tree? Or let this ATS go to 2.6.31?

Thanks,
Yu
