iommu/arm-smmu: Set SMTNMB_TLBEN in ACR to enable caching of bypass entries
The SMTNMB_TLBEN in the Auxiliary Configuration Register (ACR) provides an option to enable the updation of TLB in case of bypass transactions due to no stream match in the stream match table. This reduces the latencies of the subsequent transactions with the same stream-id which bypasses the SMMU. This provides a significant performance benefit for certain networking workloads. With this change substantial performance improvement of ~9% is observed with DPDK l3fwd application (http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/sample_app_ug/l3_forward.html) on NXP's LS2088a platform.
