The code looks good in general. I think we need to extend the IOMMU-API
a little bit to better support GART IOMMUs. A user of the IOMMU-API
should be able to get the information about the iova-base and size of
the aperture for example. These extensions will be beneficial for
porting other GART-like driver to the IOMMU-API too.
