This is not VT-d specific. It's just how generic IOMMU works.

Normally, IOMMU works in paging mode. So if a driver issues DMA with
IOVA  0xAAAA0123, IOMMU can remap it with a physical address 0xBBBB0123.
But we should never expect IOMMU to remap 0xAAAA0123 with physical
address of 0xBBBB0000. That's the reason why I said that IOMMU will not
work there.

This is the whole view of iommu bounce page. I expect the buffer_start
returned by swiotlb_tbl_map_single() starts from the same page_offset as
the buffer_start in IOVA.

Normally, IOMMU works in paging mode. So if a driver issues DMA with
IOVA  0xAAAA0123, IOMMU can remap it with a physical address 0xBBBB0123.
But we should never expect IOMMU to remap 0xAAAA0123 with physical
address of 0xBBBB0000. That's the reason why I said that IOMMU will not
work there.
