Citing "release early release often", I'm posting this now as a mega-patch
to get people looking at it. I'll try to split it up and make it look a
little prettier before submitting it.

The intent of this patch is to setup (on certain machines) a "static" IOMMU
mapping of all of memory, to reduce the overhead of the IOMMU. If anyone has
a better name than "static" I'm all ears.

Early mapping?
Premapping?
