The "page mask" thing was an old hack to trick the core API into making fewer map/unmap calls where the driver could map arbitrary numbers of pages at once anyway. The multi-page interfaces now do that more honestly and generally better (since they work for non-power-of-two sizes as well).

Perhaps, although the full change should be trivial enough that there's 
probably just as much argument for doing the whole thing in its own 
right for the sake of this cleanup. The main point is that 
S390_IOMMU_PGSIZES is not incorrect as such, it's just not spelling out 
the deliberate trick that it's achieving - everyone copied it from 
intel-iommu, but since that got converted to the new interfaces the 
original explanation is now gone. The only effect of "fixing" it in 
isolation right now will be to make large VFIO mappings slower.
