Shouldn't iova be a dma_addr_t and len be a size_t?  AIUI this function
performs the equivalent behavior of the device itself performing a DMA.
Hmm, should the interface be named vfio_dma_rw()?

Parenthesis here would be useful and might prevent overflow, ie:

  dma->vaddr + (iova - dma->iova) + offset

Why do we need to split operations at page boundaries?  It seems really
inefficient that at each page crossing we need to lookup the vfio_dma
again (probably the same one), switch to the mm (probably the same one),
and perform another copy_{to,from}_user() when potentially have
everything we need to perform a larger copy.  Thanks,
