Cosmetic comment, but hex constants are lowercase everywhere else in the
file.

The absence of locking in this function concerns me a bit. For the software
implementation, we're just reading page tables, but here we're writing ATS
registers and I think we need to ensure serialisation against another
iova_to_phys on the same domain.

You can return phys == 0 on failure (at least, the callers in kvm and vfio
treat this as an error).
