[PATCH] initialize TCE tables
A fairly recent platform requirement states that the OS must clear the whole TCE table at setup time, in case firmware left any active mappings in it. Without this initialization, dynamic bus removes can fail. Firmware rejects these requests if active mappings still exist for a slot that has been deallocated by the OS.
