That looks like a very fragile construct, because it relies on internal
behavior of the iommu code that can change in the future.

I strongly suggest to either make etnaviv_iommu.c a real iommu driver an
move it to drivers/iommu, or (prefered by me) just call directly into
the map/unmap functions of this driver from the rest of the
etnaviv_iommu.c. I don't really see a reason why the IOMMU-API needs to
be used there as another layer of indirection.
