Yeah, I was focused on the overhead of actually mapping/unmapping an
address in the non-pt case.

OK.  The ixgbe fix I was thinking of is in since 2.6.34:  43634e82 (ixgbe:
Fix DMA mapping/unmapping issues when HWRSC is enabled on IOMMU enabled
on IOMMU enabled kernels).

Err, I guess that'd be info = archdata.iommu; info->domain == si_domain
(and probably need some sanity checking against things like
DUMMY_DEVICE_DOMAIN_INFO).  But you get the idea.
