I'd tag it with iomap, as it's a different subsystem just sharing
the mailing list.  We also have iommu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for both the
iommu and dma-mapping subsystems as a similar example.

But what's also important for issues like this is that often the
called library code (in this case iomap) if often not, or only
partially at fault.  So capturing the calling context (in this
case block) might also be useful.

And to get out of these meta discussions:  I'll look into the actual
issues in a bit, I'll try to find time despite travelling.
