I have now done an audit to the best of my abilities, thanks to Laurent
for pointing me in the right direction. And from what I can tell we are
good.

* drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c
Once the phys_addr_t is mapped to a dma_addr_t using
dma_map_resource() it is only used to check that the transfere do not
cross 4GB boundaries and then only directly written to HW registers.

* drivers/iommu/iommu.c
- iommu_map()
Check that it's align to min page size or return -EINVAL then calls
domain->ops->map()

* drivers/iommu/ipmmu-vmsa.c
- ipmmu_map()
No logic only calls domain->ops->map()

* drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm.c
- arm_lpae_map()
No logic only calls __arm_lpae_map()
- __arm_lpae_map()
No logic only calls arm_lpae_init_pte()
- arm_lpae_init_pte()
Used to get a pte:
pte |= pfn_to_iopte(paddr >> data->pg_shift, data);

* drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s.c
- arm_v7s_map()
No logic only calls __arm_v7s_map()
- __arm_v7s_map()
No logic only calls arm_v7s_init_pte()
- arm_v7s_init_pte
Used to get a pte:
pte |= paddr & ARM_V7S_LVL_MASK(lvl);

* ARM dma-mapping
- dma_unmap_*
Only valid unmap is dma_unmap_resource() all others are an invalid
use case.
- dma_sync_single_*
Invalid use case, memmory that is mapped is device memmory
- dma_common_mmap() and dma_mmap_attrs()
Invalid use case
- dma_common_get_sgtable() and dma_get_sgtable_attrs()
Invalid use case, only for dma_alloc_* allocated memory,
- dma_mapping_error()
OK
