So far we have been using huge DMA windows to map all the RAM available. The RAM is normally mapped to the VM address space contiguously, and there is always a reasonable upper limit for possible future hot plugged RAM which makes it easy to map all RAM via IOMMU. Now there is persistent memory ("ibm,pmemory" in the FDT) which (unlike normal RAM) can map anywhere in the VM space beyond the maximum RAM size and since it can be used for DMA, it requires extending the huge window up to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS which requires hypervisor support for: 1. huge TCE tables; 2. multilevel TCE tables; 3. huge IOMMU pages. Certain hypervisors cannot do either so the only option left is restricting the huge DMA window to include only RAM and fallback to the default DMA window for persistent memory. This defines arch_dma_map_direct/etc to allow generic DMA code perform additional checks on whether direct DMA is still possible. This checks if the system has persistent memory. If it does not, the DMA bypass mode is selected, i.e. * dev->bus_dma_limit = 0 * dev->dma_ops_bypass = true <- this avoid calling dma_ops for mapping. If there is such memory, this creates identity mapping only for RAM and sets the dev->bus_dma_limit to let the generic code decide whether to call into the direct DMA or the indirect DMA ops. This should not change the existing behaviour when no persistent memory as dev->dma_ops_bypass is expected to be set.
