Merge branch 'sparc-pcie-perf'
Chris Hyser says: ==================== sparc64: PCIe performance enhancements Ver 2 is redone for 4.8 where commit 00085f1e changed DMA attributes from struct pointer to unsigned long. This set of patches initiates a series of PCIe performance enhancement patch submittals. Patch 1/2 enables version 2 of the SPARC sun4v IOMMU I/O address translation services need for subsequent enhancements. Patch 2/2 allows drivers to specify DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING via DMA attributes to the SPARC DMA mapping routines enabling "relaxed ordering" for the buffer being mapped.
