Honestly without cscoping it I wouldn't know :-)

At the points I'm putting the traces a "map" has already happened per 
page like in ttm_populate and our kmap functions.

To reverse the IOMMU translation I need the bus/dma address, physical 
address, and PCI device information (because the dma <=> phys 
translation is only valid per PCI device).
