Oh I got this explanation mixed up - forgot about this vesitgual bit

The patch is split in two: this patch removes the
vfio_iommu_type1_dma_unmap from all the drivers but leaves the type1
code as-is and bridges it here, the next patch changes the type1 code
to direcly call the op and deletes this function. So this weirdness is
fully deleted by the end of the series.
