iommu code merges scatter/gather segments without considering a low
level driver's restrictions. The problem is that iommu code can't
access to the limitations because they are in request_queue.

This patch adds a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma
information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct
device.

- there are only max_segment_size and segment_boundary_mask there but
we'll move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct
device_dma_parameters later. segment_boundary_mask is not supported
yet.

- new accessors for the dma parameters are added. So we can easily
change where to place struct device_dma_parameters in the future.

- dma_get_max_seg_size returns 64K if dma_parms in struct device isn't
set up properly. 64K is the default max_segment_size in the block
layer.
