R/W "hints" is not required for ia64/parisc IOMMUs.
AFAIK, only swiotlb requires it and ZX1 IOMMU support has a one
performance optimization which makes use of R/W hint.
In short, "must" only applies to some subset of working platforms.
But in general I agree, hints should be useful to most architectures.
Having too many platform specific hints becomes hell for driver
writers.
