Yup, this could definitely do with improving. Unfortunately I think this 
particular implementation is slightly flawed...

Why walk when there's an anchor node there already? However...

> +			limit_pfn = curr_iova->pfn_lo;

...this doesn't look right, as by now we've lost the original limit_pfn 
supplied by the caller, so are highly likely to allocate beyond the 
range our caller asked for. In fact AFAICS we'd start allocating from 
directly directly below the anchor node, beyond the end of the entire 
address space.

The logic I was imagining we want here was something like the rapidly 
hacked up (and untested) diff below.

Thanks,
Robin.
