dma_ops_bypass should mostly do the right thing as-is.  swiotlb bouncing
is triggered of two things:

 1) the dma_mask.  This is under control of the driver, and obviously
    if it is too small for a legit reason we can't just proceed
 2) force_dma_unencrypted() - we'd need to do an opt-out here, either
    by a flag or by being smart and looking for an attached iommu on
    the device

I'd be happy to review patches for this.
