Is it really a requirement? Deferred flush only deals with unmapping. Or 
are you just trying to say that it's not too worthwhile to try doing 
more for unmapping performance while obvious mapping performance is 
still left on the table?

Minor nit: I'd be inclined to make that check explicitly in the places 
where it definitely is expected, rather than allowing *any* sync to 
silently do nothing if called incorrectly. Plus then they could use 
vdomain->nr_endpoints for consistency with the equivalent checks 
elsewhere (it did take me a moment to figure out how we could get to 
.iotlb_sync_map with a NULL viommu without viommu_map_pages() blowing up 
first...)

Thanks,
Robin.
