An element in scatterlist may not be aligned by 4K but I think IOMMU driver
must round it up to 4K if IOMMU API support iommu_map_range().

The first element in scatterlist is often not aligned by 4K if the pages are
provided from userspace. Length + offset of  the element must be
aligned by 4K, though.

Thank you,
KyongHo.
