Alexey Kardashevskiy 17a0364cb0 powerpc/pseries/iommu: Separate FW_FEATURE_MULTITCE to put/stuff features
H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT allows packing up to 512 TCE updates into a single
hypercall; H_STUFF_TCE can clear lots in a single hypercall too.

However, unlike H_STUFF_TCE (which writes the same TCE to all entries),
H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT uses a 4K page with new TCEs. In a secure VM
environment this means sharing a secure VM page with a hypervisor which
we would rather avoid.

This splits the FW_FEATURE_MULTITCE feature into FW_FEATURE_PUT_TCE_IND
and FW_FEATURE_STUFF_TCE. "hcall-multi-tce" in
the "/rtas/ibm,hypertas-functions" device tree property sets both;
the "multitce=off" kernel command line parameter disables both.

This should not cause behavioural change.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
