Are you suggesting a bitmap in order to have a consistent interface, independently implemented by each IOMMU driver, or are you suggesting a common interface implemented by iommu_ops.pgsize_bitmap? The latter is pretty well broken already. It can't represent different IOMMU hardware units having different capabilities, and it's broken by drivers like intel-iommu that don't expose native hardware page sizes, but anything that can be broken down into native hardware page size, so ~(4k-1). Programatically, a bitmap is a concise way to expose multiple page sizes, but for human consumption, it's not an ideal solution.
