[POWERPC] kdump: Reserve the existing TCE mappings left by the first kernel
During kdump boot, noticed some machines checkstop on dma protection fault for ongoing DMA left in the first kernel. Instead of initializing TCE entries in iommu_init() for the kdump boot, this patch fixes this issue by walking through the each TCE table and checks whether the entries are in use by the first kernel. If so, reserve those entries by setting the corresponding bit in tbl->it_map such that these entries will not be available for the kdump boot. However it could be possible that all TCE entries might be used up due to the driver bug that does continuous mapping. My observation is around 1700 TCE entries are used on some systems (Ex: P4) at some point of time during kdump boot and saving dump (either write into the disk or sending to remote machine). Hence, this patch will make sure that minimum of 2048 entries will be available such that kdump boot could be successful in some cases.
