page->freelist is for the use of slab. We already have the ability
to free a list of pages in the core mm, but it requires the use of a
list_head and for the pages to be chained together through page->lru.
Switch the Intel IOMMU and IOVA code over to using free_pages_list().

flushing modes. I didn't see any regression, the disk i/o and network
i/o worked good for me.

For changes in iommu/vt-d:
