Hi.
I've also noticed that VCMM is the reasonable idea for IOMMU mappings.
We often deal with physical memory blocks to map multiple way.
Allocation of physical memory itself is also important for some
peripheral devices
because it is beneficial to get larger page frame for their performance.

IOMMU api does not provide virtual memory management.
DMA api is not flexible for all our use-cases.

KyongHo.
