You're right, we are allocating page tables for these contexts and
map/unmap would modify the page tables. But afaict traversal is never
performed, given that the banks are never enabled.

But as drivers probe properly, or the direct mapped drivers sets up
their iommu domains explicitly with translation this would not be used.

So afaict we're just wasting some memory - for the gain of not
overcomplicating this function.
