FWIW the fundamental issue is that callers of iommu_map() may expect to 
be able to map two or more page-aligned regions directly adjacent to 
each other for scatter-gather purposes (or ring buffer tricks), and 
that's just not possible if the IOMMU granule is too big. Bounce 
buffering would be a viable workaround for the streaming DMA API and 
certain similar use-cases, but not in general (e.g. coherent DMA, VFIO, 
GPUs, etc.)
