The current driver uses static LMTST region allocated by firmware. This memory gets populated as PF/VF BAR2. RVU PF/VF driver ioremap the memory as device memory for NIX/NPA operation. Since the memory is mapped as device memory we see performance degration. To address this issue this patch implements runtime memory allocation. RVU PF/VF allocates memory during device probe and share the base address with RVU AF. RVU AF then configure the LMT MAP table accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
