Yes, again, the dma-iommu should not be any different from the normal
unmanaged path. At this point there is no longer any difference, we
should not invent new ones.

Yes.. It seems inefficient to iterate over that xarray multiple times
on the flush hot path, but maybe there is little choice. Try to use
use the xas iterators under the xa_lock spinlock..

The challenge will be accessing the group xa in the first place, but
maybe the core code can gain a function call to return a pointer to
that XA or something..
