Hi All,

Previously I used virtio-iommu as a non-s390x test vehicle[0] for the
single queue flushing scheme introduced by my s390x DMA API conversion
series[1]. For this I modified virtio-iommu to a) use .iotlb_sync_map
and b) enable IOMMU_CAP_DEFERRED_FLUSH. It turned out that deferred
flush and even just the introduction of ops->iotlb_sync_map yield
performance uplift[2] even with per-CPU queues. So here is a small
series of these two changes.

The code is also available on the b4/viommu-deferred-flush branch of my
kernel.org git repository[3].

Note on testing: I tested this series on my AMD Ryzen 3900X workstation
using QEMU 8.1.2 a pass-through NVMe and Intel 82599 NIC VFs. For the
NVMe I saw an increase of about 10% in IOPS and 30% in read bandwidth
compared with v6.7-rc2. One odd thing though is that QEMU seemed to make
the entire guest resident/pinned once I passed-through a PCI device.
I seem to remember this wasn't the case with my last version but not
sure which QEMU version I used back then.

@Jean-Philippe: I didn't include your R-b's as I changed back to the
nr_endpoints check and this is like 30% of the patches.

Thanks,
Niklas

Changes in v2:
- Check for viommu == NULL in viommu_sync_req() instead of for
  0 endpoints in ops (Jean-Philippe)
- Added comment where viommu can be NULL (me)
