I guess my main concern here is that there are these pci*() functions

Well, this is the main issue - helpers being used inside IOMMU code
should not be called pci* functions. This is some generic device p2p
interface that happens to only support PCI to PCI transfers today.


Yes, maybe renaming a few levels of functions would help at least clarify
what the code can do. Once the code reaches layers that truly are
PCI-specific, that's where it should transition to using pci_dev args,
and that's also where it should return -ENOTSUPP back up the calling
stack.

thanks,
