removed stale file, edited elsewhere
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/udbg.h, arch/powerpc/kernel/udbg.c:
added opal and gelic drivers vs added ePAPR driver
- drivers/tty/serial/8250.c
moved UPIO_TSI to powerpc vs removed UPIO_DWAPB support

The +Freescale MSI driver calculates the address of MSIIR (in the MSI register +block) and sets that address as the MSI message address. + +In a virtualized environment, the hypervisor may need to create an IOMMU +mapping for MSIIR. The Freescale ePAPR hypervisor has this requirement +because of hardware limitations of the Peripheral Access Management Unit +(PAMU), which is currently the only IOMMU that the hypervisor supports. +The ATMU is programmed with the guest physical address, and the PAMU +intercepts transactions and reroutes them to the true physical address. + +In the PAMU, each PCI controller is given only one primary window. The +PAMU restricts DMA operations so that they can only occur within a window. +Because PCI devices must be able to DMA to memory, the primary window must +be used to cover all of the guest's memory space. + +PAMU primary windows can be divided into 256 subwindows, and each +subwindow can have its own address mapping ("guest physical" to "true +physical"). However, each subwindow has to have the same alignment, which +means they cannot be located at just any address. Because of these +restrictions, it is usually impossible to create a 4KB subwindow that +covers MSIIR where it's normally located. + +Therefore, the hypervisor has to create a subwindow inside the same +primary window used for memory, but mapped to the MSIR block (where MSIIR +lives). The first subwindow after the end of guest memory is used for +this. The address specified in the msi-address-64 property is the PCI +address of MSIIR. The hypervisor configures the PAMU to map that address to +the true physical address of MSIIR. |
