If a software restriction is needed we could define a start and end addresses for iommu module (maybe as a parameter when the iommu handle for iva2 is got) and that boundaries can be taking in account at the moment of reserve the memory.

What happened to this?

IIUC what you are proposing is to remove the DMM pool completely, that
makes sense to me. However, is it really needed to finish the iommu
migration to do this?

This is something I've proposed before, so I agree :)
