Just a couple of minor comments, but I think this is almost there now.

What do you anticipate passing in the flags parameter? I assume it's
something specific to the scatterlist, since we can't provide this to
iommu_map as it stands?

I think this would be cleaner if you stuck it in the loop above and removed
all these labels:

  if (ret) {
	iommu_unmap(...);
	break;
  }
