Isn't that a problem then that you're filling the tce with processor
page sizes via get_user_pages_fast(), but incrementing the tce by by
IOMMU page size?  For example, if PAGE_SIZE = 4K and IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE !=
4K have we really pinned all of the memory backed by the tce?  Where do
you make sure the 4K page is really contiguous for the IOMMU page?
