What potential problems are you imagining? This whole file is a DMA ops 
implementation, not driver code (and definitely not a module); if anyone 
removes the "select DMA_OPS" from CONFIG_IOMMU_DMA they deserve whatever 
breakage they get.

I concur that there's no major harm in using the helper here, but I also 
see no point in pretending that there's any value to abstracting the 
operation in this particular context.

Thanks,
Robin.
