It's not _notrack it's "rely on the tracking established by the struct
io_mapping". Exporting a _notrack version to drivers sounds like not
something we want to ever do. So I think you want a helper which takes the
io_mapping, and not something that encourages drivers to go full stupid.

Needs an older machine and old userspace. intel-gfx CI should still check
