Hi all,

While measuring the impact of a kernel patch on our lab machines I stumbled upon
a performance regression affecting the 100Gbit ICE nic and bisected it
from range v5.11.1..v5.13-rc3 to the commit:
a250c23f15c2 iommu: remove DOMAIN_ATTR_DMA_USE_FLUSH_QUEUE

Both recent bpf-next (d6a6a55518) and linux-stable (c4681547bc) are
affected by the issue.

The regression shows as a significant drop in throughput as measured
with "super_netperf" [0],
with measured bandwidth of ~95Gbps before and ~35Gbps after:

commit 3189713a1b84 (a250c23^):
$ ./super_netperf 32 -H 172.18.0.2 -l 10
97379.8

commit a250c23f15c2:
$ ./super_netperf 32 -H 172.18.0.2 -l 10
34097.5

The pair of test machines have this hardware:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core Processor
MB: X570 AORUS MASTER
0a:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet
Controller E810-C for QSFP [8086:1592] (rev 02)
