This shouldn't be part of your solution..
A DMA API using driver should never be attached to a device that is
being persisted across a kexec. If it does then the device should be
fully reset and re-attached to the normal DMA API iommu domain.
You should be striving to have an iommu_domain to represent the
special post-kexec translation regime.
