Subject[PATCH v2 net-next] drivers/net: Enable IOMMU pass through for be2net
Date
This patch sets the coherent DMA mask to 64-bit after the be2net driver
has been acknowledged that the system is 64-bit DMA capable. The coherent
DMA mask is examined by the Intel IOMMU driver to determine whether to
allow pass through context mapping for all devices. With this patch, the
be2net driver combined with be2net compatible hardware provides
comparable performance to the case where vt-d is disabled. The main use
case for this change is to decrease the time necessary to copy virtual
machine memory during KVM live migration instantiations.

This patch was tested on a system that enables the IOMMU in non-coherent
mode. Two DMA remapper issues were encountered in the previous version and
both patches have been committed.
