[PATCH kernel] KVM: PPC: Fix hardware and emulated TCE tables matching

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy <hidden>

When attaching a hardware table to LIOBN in KVM, we match table parameters
such as page size, table offset and table size. However the tables are
created via very different paths - VFIO and KVM - and the VFIO path goes
through the platform code which has minimum TCE page size requirement
(which is 4K but since we allocate memory by pages and cannot avoid
alignment anyway, we align to 64k pages for powernv_defconfig).

So when we match the tables, one might be bigger that the other which
means the hardware table cannot get attached to LIOBN and DMA mapping
fails.

This removes the table size alignment from the guest visible table.
This does not affect the memory allocation which is still aligned -
kvmppc_tce_pages() takes care of this.

This relaxes the check we do when attaching tables to allow the hardware
table be bigger than the guest visible table.

Ideally we want the KVM table to cover the same space as the hardware
table does but since the hardware table may use multiple levels, and
all levels must use the same table size (IODA2 design), the area it can
actually cover might get very different from the window size which
the guest requested, even though the guest won't map it all.

Thanks, patch applied to my kvm-ppc-next branch.

Paul.
