AFAICS this is entirely on intel-iommu - from a brief look it appears that all the IOVA calculations would handle the offset correctly, but then __domain_mapping() blindly uses sg_page() for the physical address, so if offset is larger than a page it would end up with the DMA mapping covering the wrong part of the buffer.
