If the system runs out of SW-IOMMU space, changes are high successive requests will fail, too, flooding the kernel log. This is true especially for streaming DMA, which is typically used repeatedly outside the driver's initialization routine. Add rate-limiting to fix this. While at it, get rid of the open-coded dev_name() handling by using the appropriate dev_err_*() variant.
