Without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP or FLATMEM, it wouldn't work. For example,
__page_to_pfn() in the SPARSEMEM case, used by page_to_phys(), even
accesses the page structure (through page_to_section()).

If the page struct is not relevant to the iommu code in question, you
could factor it out into an __iommu_dma_map_pfn(). Or maybe move the
whole logic to iommu_dma_map_resource() and call it from
iommu_dma_map_page() with the page_to_phys(page) argument.
