dma_alloc_coherent memory is just as contiguous as __get_free_pages, and
calling dma_alloc_coherent from a guest does not guarantee that the memory is
contiguous in host memory either. The memory would look contiguous from the
device point of view thanks to the IOMMU though (in both cases). So this is not
about being contiguous but other properties that you might rely on (dma mask
most likely, or coherent if you're not running this on x86?).

Can you confirm why this fixes things and update the comment to reflect that.

This is confusing: you're storing GPA for the guest and HPA in case of the
host, to pass to the device. Let's talk about the host case.

a) the device is behind an IOMMU. The DMA API gives you an IOVA, and the device
should be using the IOVA to access memory (because it's behind an IOMMU).
b) the device is not behind an IOMMU. The DMA API gives you a PA, the device
uses a PA.

But in case a) you're extracting the PA, which means your device can bypass the
IOMMU, in which case the system should not think that it is behind an IOMMU. So
how does this work?
