Hmm, this is a pretty horrible place where CPU page size (from the sg list)
meets the IOMMU and I think we need to do something better to avoid spurious
failures. In other words, the sg list should be iterated in such a way that
we always pass a multiple of a supported iommu page size to iommu_map.
All the code using PAGE_MASK and PAGE_ALIGN needn't match what is supported
by the IOMMU hardware.
