So far iommu_table obejcts were only used in virtual mode and had a single owner. We are going to change this by implementing in-kernel acceleration of DMA mapping requests. The proposed acceleration will handle requests in real mode and KVM will keep references to tables. This adds a kref to iommu_table and defines new helpers to update it. This replaces iommu_free_table() with iommu_tce_table_put() and makes iommu_free_table() static. iommu_tce_table_get() is not used in this patch but it will be in the following patch. Since this touches prototypes, this also removes @node_name parameter as it has never been really useful on powernv and carrying it for the pseries platform code to iommu_free_table() seems to be quite useless as well. This should cause no behavioral change.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
