Now the minimum allocation size for a TCE table level is PAGE_SIZE (64k)
as this is the minimum for alloc_pages(). The limit was set in POWER8
where we did not have sparse RAM so we did not need sparse TCE tables.
On POWER9 we have gaps in the phys address space for which using multi
level TCE tables makes sense. The problem with that is that 64K per level
is too much for 2 levels and 1GB pages as it exceeds the hardware limit
of 55bits so we need smaller levels.

This drops the minimum level size to 4K.

For a machine with 2 CPUs, top RAM address 0x4000.0000.0000
(each node gets 32TiB) and 1GiB IOMMU pages:
Before the patch: 512KiB or 8 pages.
After the patch: 3 pages: one level1 + 2xlevel2 tables, each can map
up to 64k>>3<<30 = 8TiB of physical space.
