Well, what you could do (and what I think the core should do at some
point) is to build the resulting page-size bitmap by taking the biggest
minimum page-size from all iommus and OR the page-size bigger than that
together. For a system with 3 SMMUs supporting all of the above
pgsize_bitmaps the resulting bitmap would look like this:

	SZ_64K | SZ_32M | SZ_2M | SZ_512M | SZ_1G;

With the biggest minimum page-size all of the bigger page-sizes can be
emulated.  But that is not necessary for this patch-set, just a
suggestion for future work.
