Merge tag 'iommu-updates-v3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu
Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
merge-window is closed."
