Hi Olav,

Thank you for the patch.

I would have called this iommu_default_unmap_sg (and same comment for 
default_iommu_map_sg) to keep the iommu_ prefix, but that's up to you.

Do you expect drivers to need to override this ? What are the use cases for 
non-default implementation of unmap_sg different than this ?

Instead of having to modify all IOMMU drivers to set the map_sg operation to 
default_iommu_map_sg, how about calling it automatically as a fallback when 
map_sg is NULL ? Something like

        if (domain->ops->map_sg)
                return domain->ops->map_sg(domain, iova, sg, nents, prot, 
flags);

        return default_iommu_map_sg(domain, iova, sg, nents, prot, flags);
