This approach doesn't seem quite right to me.  It's specific to pages
mapped into the IOMMU.  It's true that will address the obvious case
we have, of vfio-using guests fragmenting the CMA for other guests.

But AFAICT, fragmenting the CMA coud happen with *any* locked memory,
not just things that are IOMMU mapped for VFIO.  So, for example a
guest not using vfio, but using -realtime mlock=on, or an unrelated
program using locked memory (e.g. gpg or something else that locks
memory for security reasons).

AFAICT this approach won't fix the problem for that case.
