The whole IOMMU subsystem allocates a significant amount of kernel
locked memory that we want to at least observe. The new field in
vmstat does just that: it reports ALL buddy allocator memory that
IOMMU allocates. However, for accounting purposes, I agree, we need to
do better, and separate at least iommu pagetables from the rest.

We can separate the metric into two:
iommu pagetable only
iommu everything

or into three:
iommu pagetable only
iommu dma
iommu everything

What do you think?
