I think it would be better to keep the code as much generic as possible
regarding page sizes.

This part I don't understand. Why do we need to align everything to the
bigger pagesize?

I mean, is not that enough that the range [ret, ret + size[ is both
allocated by mm and mapped on a iommu range?

Suppose a iommu_alloc_coherent() of 16kB on PAGESIZE = 4k and
IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE() == 64k.
Why 4 * cpu_pages mapped by a 64k IOMMU page is not enough?
All the space the user asked for is allocated and mapped for DMA.

I did not get this part, what do you mean?

It's 86 columns long, which is less than the new limit of 100 columns
Linus announced a few weeks ago. checkpatch.pl was updated too:

Will be removed. Thanks!
