Tested-By: Longfang Liu <liulongfang@xxxxxxxxxx>

The Arm SVA mode based on HiSilicon crypto accelerator completed the functional test
and performance test of page fault scenarios.
1. The IOMMU page fault processing function is normal.
2. Performance test on 128 core ARM platform. performance is reduced:

Threads  Performance
8         -0.77%
16        -1.1%
32        -0.31%
64        -0.49%
128       -0.72%
256       -1.7%
384       -4.94%
512       NA（iopf timeout）

Finally, continuing to increase the number of threads will cause iommu's page fault
processing to time out(more than 4.2 seconds).
This problem occurs both in the before version(kernel6.7-rc1) and
in the after modification's version.

Thanks.
Longfang.
