iommu: Introduce Interface for IOMMU TLB Flushing

With the current IOMMU-API the hardware TLBs have to be
flushed in every iommu_ops->unmap() call-back.

For unmapping large amounts of address space, like it
happens when a KVM domain with assigned devices is
destroyed, this causes thousands of unnecessary TLB flushes
in the IOMMU hardware because the unmap call-back runs for
every unmapped physical page.

With the TLB Flush Interface and the new iommu_unmap_fast()
function introduced here the need to clean the hardware TLBs
is removed from the unmapping code-path. Users of
iommu_unmap_fast() have to explicitly call the TLB-Flush
functions to sync the page-table changes to the hardware.

Three functions for TLB-Flushes are introduced:

	* iommu_flush_tlb_all() - Flushes all TLB entries
	                          associated with that
				  domain. TLBs entries are
				  flushed when this function
				  returns.

	* iommu_tlb_range_add() - This will add a given
				  range to the flush queue
				  for this domain.

	* iommu_tlb_sync() - Flushes all queued ranges from
			     the hardware TLBs. Returns when
			     the flush is finished.

The semantic of this interface is intentionally similar to
the iommu_gather_ops from the io-pgtable code.
