It is a SW bug in the sense that 0 is commonly an uninitialized value or
uninitialized memory.

It probably shouldn't do that. It also allocates -1ULL which causes
real bugs too. :(

Ooh, OK, I read that in the wrong order, you know I looked at this
many times to see if it could use the double span..

Ugh that is a pain, the double_span.h isn't setup for two .c files to
use it.

Anyhow, so like this:

	interval_tree_for_each_span(&allowed_span, &iopt->allowed_itree,
				    PAGE_SIZE, ULONG_MAX - PAGE_SIZE) {
		if (RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&iopt->allowed_itree.rb_root)) {
			allowed_span.start_used = PAGE_SIZE;
			allowed_span.last_used = ULONG_MAX - PAGE_SIZE;
			allowed_span.is_hole = false;
		}

		if (!__alloc_iova_check_used(&allowed_span, length,
					     iova_alignment, page_offset))
			continue;

		interval_tree_for_each_double_span(
			&used_span, &iopt->reserved_itree, &iopt->area_itree,
			allowed_span.start_used, allowed_span.last_used) {
			if (!__alloc_iova_check_hole(&used_span, length,
						     iova_alignment,
						     page_offset))
				continue;

			*iova = used_span.start_hole;
			return 0;
		}
	}

How about "see batch_iommu_map_small()" ?
