0a9afeda80 iommu/dma: Avoid unlikely high-order allocations
Doug reports that the equivalent page allocator on 32-bit ARM exhibits
particularly pathalogical behaviour under memory pressure when
fragmentation is high, where allocating a 4MB buffer takes tens of
seconds and the number of calls to alloc_pages() is over 9000![1]

We can drastically improve that situation without losing the other
benefits of high-order allocations when they would succeed, by assuming
memory pressure is relatively constant over the course of an allocation,
and not retrying allocations at orders we know to have failed before.
This way, the best-case behaviour remains unchanged, and in the worst
case we should see at most a dozen or so (MAX_ORDER - 1) failed attempts
before falling back to single pages for the remainder of the buffer.

5b11e9cd42 iommu/dma: Add some missing #includes
dma-iommu.c was naughtily relying on an implicit transitive #include of
linux/vmalloc.h, which is apparently not present on some architectures.
Add that, plus a couple more headers for other functions which are used
similarly.

0db2e5d18f iommu: Implement common IOMMU ops for DMA mapping
Taking inspiration from the existing arch/arm code, break out some
generic functions to interface the DMA-API to the IOMMU-API. This will
do the bulk of the heavy lifting for IOMMU-backed dma-mapping.

Since associating an IOVA allocator with an IOMMU domain is a fairly
common need, rather than introduce yet another private structure just to
do this for ourselves, extend the top-level struct iommu_domain with the
notion. A simple opaque cookie allows reuse by other IOMMU API users
with their various different incompatible allocator types.
