Otherwise it will very hard to get it integrated with DMA mapping framework. GFP_ATOMIC
memory is allocated straight from system free lists, which are refilled on the next 
non-atomic allocation if the watermark level is low enough. 

It will be best if iommu_map() can be extended with allocation flags argument, so the
caller can decide if iommu driver can use GFP_ATOMIC or GFP_KERNEL depending on the context.
