We can certainly run with a 64k CPU page size and a 4k IOMMU page size on
arm64 systems. The other way around is much more problematic, so I think
you're right to suggest the minimum page size.

However, once we have that, we run into the same problem that we've got
with the current pgsize_bitmap. Namely, that it needs to be a per-domain
property to avoid it changing dynamically following an initial map request
or a probe of a new IOMMU device.
