Hmm, so I started doing this but then realised we already required this
behaviour for tlb_add_flush() afaict. That would mean that mainline
currently has a bug for arm-smmu.c, because we use the _relaxed I/O
accessors in there and there's no DSB after clearing the PTE on unmap().

Am I missing something?
