In general, I would recommend using only the IOMMU API when you have a device
driver that needs to control the bus virtual address space and that manages
a device that resides in its own IOMMU context. I would recommend using
only the dma-mapping API when you have a device that lives in a shared
bus virtual address space with other devices, and then never ask for
a specific bus virtual address.
Can you explain what devices you see that don't fit in one of those two
categories?
