The patch was sent one year ago. Just before Calxeda was shutdown.

This is a requirement for the following patch. Do you think the other
patch should be upstream to Linux before? If so, Calxeda server won't be
able to use properly SMMU.

Even though the server will never be used, I do all my SMMU development
on it.

FWIW, we use already use the 2 patches in the current SMMU drivers.
