    iommu/vt-d: Flush the IOTLB to get rid of the initial kdump mappings · f73a7eee

    Ever since commit 091d42e4
    
     ("iommu/vt-d: Copy translation tables from
    old kernel") the kdump kernel copies the IOMMU context tables from the
    previous kernel. Each device mappings will be destroyed once the driver
    for the respective device takes over.
    
    This unfortunately breaks the workflow of mapping and unmapping a new
    context to the IOMMU. The mapping function assumes that either:
    
    1) Unmapping did the proper IOMMU flushing and it only ever flush if the
       IOMMU unit supports caching invalid entries.
    2) The system just booted and the initialization code took care of
       flushing all IOMMU caches.
    
    This assumption is not true for the kdump kernel since the context
    tables have been copied from the previous kernel and translations could
    have been cached ever since. So make sure to flush the IOTLB as well
    when we destroy these old copied mappings.
