That sounds more like you're passing the wrong device around somewhere, 
since this approach is working fine for other IOMMUs; specifically, the 
flow goes:

dma_alloc_coherent(DRM dev)   // for buffer
--> ops->alloc(DRM dev)
     --> iommu_dma_alloc(DRM dev)
         --> iommu_map()
             --> dma_alloc_coherent(IOMMU dev)  // for pagetable
                 --> ops->alloc(IOMMU dev)
                     --> swiotlb_alloc(IOMMU dev)

There shouldn't be any need for this "virtual IOMMU" at all. I think the 
Exynos DRM driver is in a similar situation of having multiple devices 
(involving multiple IOMMUs) backing the virtual DRM device, and that 
doesn't seem to be doing anything this crazy so it's probably worth 
taking a look at.
