The P9 NPU workbook says that only 4K/64K/16M/256M page size are supported
and in fact npu2_map_pe_dma_window() supports just these but in absence of
the "ibm,supported-tce-sizes" property Linux assumes the default P9 PHB4
page sizes - 4K/64K/2M/1G - so when Linux tries 2M/1G TCEs, we get lots of
"Unexpected TCE size" from npu2_tce_kill().

This advertises TCE page sizes so Linux could handle it correctly, i.e.
fall back to 4K/64K TCEs.

Merged to master as of 003ccd5775161d352c53cac3d00c6283eb036ffc - should
this also go to stable?

The userspace can trigger those "Unexpected TCE size" messages a lot, is
this a good enough reason for stable?

Probably - annoying messages are a bug.
