Hi,
This patch implements automatic page coalescing when separated io page table 
is used. It uses ignore bits in iommu pde to cache how many entries lower 
next page level are suitable for coalescing and then builds a super page 
entry when all lower entries are contiguous.  This patch has been tested OK 
for weeks mainly with graphic devices and 3D mark vantage.
Thanks
Wei
