If we're always serialized on iommu->lock, would it make sense to have
gathers pre-allocated on the vfio_iommu object?

There are bitmap helpers for this, find_first_bit(),
find_next_zero_bit().

The IOMMU API does not guarantee arbitrary unmap sizes, this will
trigger and this exit path is wrong. If we've already unmapped the
IOMMU, shouldn't we proceed with @unmapped rather than @len so the
device can re-fault the extra mappings? Otherwise the IOMMU state
doesn't match the iopf bitmap state.

Is WARN_ON sufficient for this error condition? We've been told to
evacuate a range of mm, the device still has DMA access, we've removed
page pinning. This seems like a BUG_ON condition to me, we can't allow
the system to continue in any way with pages getting unmapped from
under the device.

Again, this patch series is difficult to follow because we're
introducing dead code until the mmu notifier actually has a path to be
registered. We shouldn't be taking any faults until iopf is enabled,
so it seems like we can add more of the core support alongside this
code.
