I have now done an audit to the best of my abilities, thanks to Laurent 
for pointing me in the right direction. And from what I can tell we are 
good.

* drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c
  Once the phys_addr_t is mapped to a dma_addr_t using 
  dma_map_resource() it is only used to check that the transfere do not 
  cross 4GB boundaries and then only directly written to HW registers.

* drivers/iommu/iommu.c
  - iommu_map()
    Check that it's align to min page size or return -EINVAL then calls
    domain->ops->map()

* drivers/iommu/ipmmu-vmsa.c
  - ipmmu_map()
    No logic only calls domain->ops->map()

* drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm.c
  - arm_lpae_map()
    No logic only calls __arm_lpae_map()
  - __arm_lpae_map()
    No logic only calls arm_lpae_init_pte()
  - arm_lpae_init_pte()
    Used to get a pte:
      pte |= pfn_to_iopte(paddr >> data->pg_shift, data);

* drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s.c
  - arm_v7s_map()
    No logic only calls __arm_v7s_map()
  - __arm_v7s_map()
    No logic only calls arm_v7s_init_pte()
  - arm_v7s_init_pte
    Used to get a pte:
      pte |= paddr & ARM_V7S_LVL_MASK(lvl);

* ARM dma-mapping
  - dma_unmap_*
    Only valid unmap is dma_unmap_resource() all others are an invalid 
    use case.
  - dma_sync_single_*
    Invalid use case, memmory that is mapped is device memmory
  - dma_common_mmap() and dma_mmap_attrs()
    Invalid use case
  - dma_common_get_sgtable() and dma_get_sgtable_attrs()
    Invalid use case, only for dma_alloc_* allocated memory,
  - dma_mapping_error()
    OK
