vfio: powerpc/spapr: powerpc/powernv/ioda2: Use DMA windows API in ownership control
Before the IOMMU user (VFIO) would take control over the IOMMU table belonging to a specific IOMMU group. This approach did not allow sharing tables between IOMMU groups attached to the same container. This introduces a new IOMMU ownership flavour when the user can not just control the existing IOMMU table but remove/create tables on demand. If an IOMMU implements take/release_ownership() callbacks, this lets the user have full control over the IOMMU group. When the ownership is taken, the platform code removes all the windows so the caller must create them. Before returning the ownership back to the platform code, VFIO unprograms and removes all the tables it created. This changes IODA2's onwership handler to remove the existing table rather than manipulating with the existing one. From now on, iommu_take_ownership() and iommu_release_ownership() are only called from the vfio_iommu_spapr_tce driver. Old-style ownership is still supported allowing VFIO to run on older P5IOC2 and IODA IO controllers. No change in userspace-visible behaviour is expected. Since it recreates TCE tables on each ownership change, related kernel traces will appear more often. This adds a pnv_pci_ioda2_setup_default_config() which is called when PE is being configured at boot time and when the ownership is passed from VFIO to the platform code.
