Modern IBM POWERPC systems support multiple (currently two) TCE tables
per IOMMU group (a.k.a. PE). This adds a iommu_table_group container
for TCE tables. Right now just one table is supported.

For P5IOC2 and IODA, iommu_table_group is embedded into PE struct
(pnv_ioda_pe and pnv_phb) and does not require iommu_free_table(), only .
iommu_reset_table().

For pSeries, this replaces multiple calls of kzalloc_node() with a new
iommu_pseries_group_alloc() helper and stores the table group struct
pointer into the pci_dn struct. For release, a iommu_table_group_free()
helper is added.

This should cause no behavioural change.

I'm not particularly fond of the "table_group" name, but I can't
really think of a better name for now.  So,

I asked Ben again. iommu_state is not much better either. I'd stick to 
iommu_table_group.
