I think we only need to check the permission of the current domain. 
Checking the permission of the guest is not necessary here. Hence, the 
code to map a region will be more difficult. We will have first call 
iomem_permission then call memory_mapping.

I would prefer to keep the current permission check ie:

if ( !iomem_access_permitted(current->domain, ...) )
