powerpc/pseries: Add support for dynamic dma windows

Browse Source 
If firmware allows us to map all of a partition's memory for DMA on a
particular bridge, create a 1:1 mapping of that memory. Add hooks for
dealing with hotplug events. Dynamic DMA windows can use larger than the
default page size, and we use the largest one possible.
