This series let's the vfio type1 iommu backend take advantage of iommu large page support. See patch 2/2 for the details. This has been tested on both amd_iommu and intel_iommu, but only my AMD system has large page support. I'd appreciate any testing and feedback on other systems, particularly vt-d systems supporting large pages. Mapping efficiency should be improved a bit without iommu hugepages, but I hope that it's much more noticeable with huge pages, especially for very large QEMU guests.
This change includes a clarification to the mapping expectations for users of the type1 iommu, but is compatible with known users and works with existing QEMU userspace supporting vfio.
