I have a bad feeling about using the dma-mapping API within the
IOMMU code, because that driver is also used to implement the
dma-mapping API for devices attached to the IOMMU. It's possible
that it just works.
Is the IOMMU actually designed to have page tables in noncoherent
memory? I would have expected that the iopt accesses must all be
done on dma_alloc_coherent() provided memory to guarantee proper
accesses.
