Hello, Robin!

Tegra20 GART isn't a real IOMMU, but a small relocation aperture. We
would only want to use it for a temporal mappings (managed by GPU
driver) for the time while GPU hardware is busy and working with a
sparse DMA buffers, the driver will take care of unmapping the sparse
buffers once GPU work is finished [1]. In a case of contiguous DMA
buffers, we want to bypass the IOMMU and use buffer's phys address
because GART aperture is small and all buffers simply can't fit into
GART for a complex GPU operations that involve multiple buffers [2][3].
The upstream GPU driver still doesn't support GART, but eventually it
needs to be changed.

Will a returned NULL tell to IOMMU core that implicit domain shouldn't
be used? Is it possible to leave this driver as-is?
