Maybe testing with host 64k pagesize and IOMMU 16MB pagesize in qemu
should be enough, is there any chance to get indirect mapping in qemu
like this? (DDW but with smaller DMA window available)

I have noticed mlx5 driver getting a few bytes in a buffer, and using
iommu_map_page(). It does map a whole page for as few bytes as the user
wants mapped, and the other bytes get used for something else, or just
mapped on another DMA page.
It seems to work fine.
