I only took a short look but I think the device_iommu_mapped() call in
there is wrong. On s390 PCI always goes through IOMMU hardware both
when using the IOMMU API and when using the DMA API and this hardware
is always coherent. This is even true for s390 guests in QEMU/KVM and
under the z/VM hypervisor. As far as I can see device_iommu_mapped()'s
check for dev->iommu_group would only work while the device is under
IOMMU API control not DMA API, no?

Also, while it is true that s390 *hardware* devices are always cache
coherent there is also the case that SWIOTLB is used for protected
virtualization and then cache flushing APIs must be used.
