Hi Nishanth,

sorry for the late reply.

On Power, since it's technically variable, we'd need a function. So are
you suggesting define'ing it to a function just on Power and leaving it
a constant elsewhere?

I noticed that sparc has a IOMMU_PAGE_SHIFT already, fwiw.
Sorry, I should have been more specific -- I'm ready to spin out a v3,
with a sparc-specific function.

Are you ok with leaving it a function for now (the only caller is in
NVMe obviously).

I guess we do indeed need a function then.  I'll take a look at your
patch, but as long you found a way to avoid adding too much boilerplate
code it should be fine.
