[PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: rotate portal address for better performance

[PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: rotate portal address for better performance

[Dave Jiang]

The device submission portal is on a 4k page and any of those 64bit aligned
address on the page can be used for descriptor submission. By rotating the
offset through the 4k range and prevent successive writes to the same MMIO
address, performance improvement is observed through testing.
