Robin Murphy bb65a64c72 iommu/dma: Plumb in the per-CPU IOVA caches
With IOVA allocation suitably tidied up, we are finally free to opt in
to the per-CPU caching mechanism. The caching alone can provide a modest
improvement over walking the rbtree for weedier systems (iperf3 shows
~10% more ethernet throughput on an ARM Juno r1 constrained to a single
650MHz Cortex-A53), but the real gain will be in sidestepping the rbtree
lock contention which larger ARM-based systems with lots of parallel I/O
are starting to feel the pain of.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
