With the same idea, in the IDPF driver, the function dma_alloc_coherent 
which is called in the IDPF driver can be devided into the following 2 
functions:

iommu_dma_alloc_pages

and

iommu_dma_map_page

So the function iommu_dma_alloc_pages allocates pages, 
iommu_dma_map_page makes mapping between pages and IOVA.

Now the above idea is implemented in the NIC driver. Currently it can 
work well.

Next the above idea will be implemented in the block device. Hope this 
can increase the performance of the block device.

Best Regards,
Zhu Yanjun
