Merge tag 'dma-mapping-5.20-2022-08-06' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping
Pull dma-mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
- convert arm32 to the common dma-direct code (Arnd Bergmann, Robin
Murphy, Christoph Hellwig)
- restructure the PCIe peer to peer mapping support (Logan Gunthorpe)
- allow the IOMMU code to communicate an optional DMA mapping length
and use that in scsi and libata (John Garry)
- split the global swiotlb lock (Tianyu Lan)
- various fixes and cleanup (Chao Gao, Dan Carpenter, Dongli Zhang,
Lukas Bulwahn, Robin Murphy)
