`git grep iommu_iova_to_phys drivers/{crypto,gpu,net}`

:(

I guess one alternative is for the offending drivers to maintain their 
own lookup tables of mapped DMA addresses - I think at least some of 
these things allow storing some kind of token in a descriptor, which 
even if it's not big enough for a virtual address might be sufficient 
for an index.
