Eric can clarify, but I think the intention here is to have VFIO continue
doing things in PAGE_SIZE chunks precisely so that we don't have to rework
all of the pinning code etc. The IOMMU API can then deal with the smaller
page size.

I don't see that. The pinning all happens the same in VFIO, which can
then happily pass a 64k region to iommu_map. iommu_map will then call
->map in 4k chunks on the IOMMU driver ops.
