Me neither :-)
I did the alignment at first without thinking too much about it,
then read your reply, and only *then* realized that there are untrusted devices
for which this just happens to do the right thing (at the cost of wasting
memory for everyone else, but I'll fix that).

See above, didn't even consider this either.

I should be able to fix this by first allocating <= 3 pages to reach a
iovad->granule boundary (or just satisfy the full allocation length already),
adjust the DMA offset forward for this first allocation and then just keep
allocating iovad->granule blocks for the rest of the requested size.

The current code already does the second part and I think I'll just need
to add the first alignment part.

Good points, I'll just add if (iovad->granule > PAGE_SIZE) return -ENXIO;
here which should be equivalent to having no get_sgtable in dma_map_ops.
