x86_64: Calgary - tighten up the bitmap locking
Currently the IOMMU table's lock protects both the bitmap and access to the hardware's TCE table. Access to the TCE table is synchronized through the bitmap; therefore, only hold the lock while modifying the bitmap. This gives a yummy 10-15% reduction in CPU utilization for netperf on a large SMP machine.
