Shoulnd't we normalize the entire sg_page(sg) + sg_offset.

if when you only mask the page-unaligned portion i suspect you might be
pointing to a different region?

something like (sg_page(sg) + (sg->offset << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT)) 

then add the unaligned part.. sg->offset>>VTD_PAGE_SHIFT

Is this happening because you are using a 2M page? not sure what triggers
this or causes the driver to get passed in larger than 4K offset, or 
running 32bit kernel?

if its legal to get passed in such odd values, we should fix IOMMU driver to 
handle it properly, otherwise we should atleast fail those requests.
