We don't have any arch specific scatterlist now that parisc switched over
to the generic one.

Sowmini Varadhan f1600e549b sparc: Make sparc64 use scalable lib/iommu-common.c functions
In iperf experiments running linux as the Tx side (TCP client) with
10 threads results in a severe performance drop when TSO is disabled,
indicating a weakness in the software that can be avoided by using
the scalable IOMMU arena DMA allocation.

Baseline numbers before this patch:
   with default settings (TSO enabled) :    9-9.5 Gbps
   Disable TSO using ethtool- drops badly:  2-3 Gbps.

After this patch, iperf client with 10 threads, can give a
throughput of at least 8.5 Gbps, even when TSO is disabled.

Sam Ravnborg a88b5ba8bd sparc,sparc64: unify kernel/
o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
  - rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files

NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!

Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
