PCI: pci-iommu-iotlb-flushing-speedup



The following patch is an update to use an array instead of a list of
IOVA's in the implementation of defered iotlb flushes.  It takes
inspiration from sba_iommu.c

I like this implementation better as it encapsulates the batch process
within intel-iommu.c, and no longer touches iova.h (which is shared)

Performance data:  Netperf 32byte UDP streaming
2.6.25-rc3-mm1:
IOMMU-strict : 58Mps @ 62% cpu
NO-IOMMU : 71Mbs @ 41% cpu
List-based IOMMU-default-batched-IOTLB flush: 66Mbps @ 57% cpu

with this patch:
IOMMU-strict : 73Mps @ 75% cpu
NO-IOMMU : 74Mbs @ 42% cpu
Array-based IOMMU-default-batched-IOTLB flush: 72Mbps @ 62% cpu
