It will definitely not work on ppc64. We always have IOMMUs on pseries,
all PCI busses do, and because it's a paravirtualized environment,
napping/unmapping pages means hypercalls -> expensive.
But our virtio implementation bypasses it in qemu, so if virtio-pci
starts using the DMA mapping API without changing the DMA ops under the
hood, it will break for us.
Cheers,
Ben.
