On this specific point, I don't think area->pages should be set either
(cc'ing Laura). As in the vmalloc vs vmap case, area->pages when pages
need to be freed (via vfree), which is not the case here. The
dma_common_pages_remap() would need to set area->pages when called
directly from the iommu DMA ops. Proposal below, not tested with the
iommu ops. I assume the patch would cause __iommu_mmap_attrs() to return
-ENXIO if DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS is set.
