These works are just a first step to create an environment for real iommu & dma-mapping integration. It is much easier to work on IOMMU integration once the dma-mapping operations can be easily changed for particular devices. dma_map_ops gives such flexibility. It is also a de-facto standard interface for other architectures so it was really desired to work on iommu implementation on top of dma_map_ops. Of course my patches will be ARM-centric, but I hope to isolate ARM-specific from generic parts, which can be easily reused on other platforms.
