Is this effectively the same as an IOMMU that applies a constant offset
to the bus address?  Could or should this be done by adding a simple IOMMU
driver instead of adding dma_pfn_offset to struct device?

If we had both dma-ranges (and we set dma_pfn_offset as you do here) and an
IOMMU, how would the combination work?  If the IOMMU driver managed
dma_pfn_offset internally, it seems like we'd have two entities dealing
with it.  If the IOMMU driver doesn't use dma_pfn_offset, it seems like
it would be exposing a weird intermediate address space that's not usable
by either CPU or device.
