The IOMMU table is divided into pools for concurrent mappings and each
pool has a separate spinlock. When taking the ownership of an IOMMU group
to pass through a device to a VM, we lock these spinlocks which triggers
a false negative warning in lockdep (below).
This fixes it by annotating the large pool's spinlock as a nest lock.

We have the same pattern and therefore should have the same problem in
iommu_release_ownership().
But as I understand, we're hacking our way around lockdep here, since
conceptually, those locks are independent. I was wondering why it seems
to fix it by worrying only about the large pool lock. That loop can take
many locks (up to 4 with current config). However, if the dma window is
less than 1GB, we would only have one, so it would make sense for
lockdep to stop complaining. Is it what happened? In which case, this
patch doesn't really fix it. Or I'm missing something :-)
