IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.4-rc8

The patches include fixes for:

	* Two build issues, one in the ipmmu-vmsa driver and one for the
	  new generic dma-api implemention used on arm64

	* A performance fix for said dma-api implemention

	* An issue caused by a wrong offset in map_sg in the same code
	  as above

sound fixes for 4.4

A slightly higher volume than a new year's wish, but not too
worrisome: a large LOC is only for HD-audio device-specific quirks,
so fairly safe to apply.  The rest ASoC fixes are all trivial and
small; a simple replacement of mutex call with nested lock version,
a few Arizona and Realtek codec fixes, and a regression fix for
Skylake firmware handling.

ASoC: Last minute fixes for v4.4

Power management and ACPI fixes for v4.4-rc7

 - Fix a thermal management issue introduced by an ACPI processor
   driver change made during the 4.3 development cycle that failed
   to return 0 from a function on success which triggered an error
   cleanup path every time it had been called that deleted useful
   data structures created previously (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Fix a variable data type issue in the arm_big_little cpufreq
   driver's SCPI support code added recently that prevents error
   handling in there from working correctly (Dan Carpenter).
