As you suggested before, building for 4k cpu pagesize should be the
best approach. It would allow testing for both pHyp and qemu scenarios.

I tested it in 64k system page + 64k iommu page.

The 64K system page may be used for anything, and a small portion of it
(say 128 bytes) needs to be used for DMA.
The whole page is mapped by IOMMU, and the driver gets info of the
memory range it should access / modify.

I haven't tested it yet. On a 64k system page and 4k/64k iommu page, it
works as described above.

I am new to this, so I am trying to understand how a memory page mapped
as DMA, and used for something else could be a problem.

Thanks!
