This has to be resolved before merging. Personally I'm in favour of
keeping reg access patterns close to what is done in other parts of the
kernel.

I really want the allocator issue resolved before talking about merging
those patches. Proper IOMMU support will require a bit of rework of the
current upstream IOMMU API, so it will still be a bit out.

But if you don't mind I'll try to implement the host1x allocator over
the holidays and provide an incremental patch.
