I agree.
The IOMMU API should take physically contiguous regions from the user,
split them up according to page-sizes (/alignment requirements)
supported by the hardware, and then tell the underlying implementation
what to map where.

Once the supported page sizes are exposed to the framework, the
current ->unmap API should probably be enough. 'va' + 'order' sounds
like all the information an implementation needs to unmap a page.
