OK, this looks very promising. I sketched something similar to the
pci-p2pdma changes a while back too.
BTW this:
iommu: generalize the batched sync after map interface
I am hoping to in a direction of adding a gather to the map, just like
unmap. So eventually instead of open coding iotlb_sync_map() you'd
flush the gather and it would do it.

Yeah this came up before :\ Can't precompute the p2p type during bio
creation, splitting based on pgmap would be good enough.
