Thanks Alex,

Actual problem here is: vfio_dma keeps track of address range from
(dma->iova + 0) to (dma->iova + dma->size - 1), while vfio_find_dma()
search logic looks for range from (dma->iova + 1) to (dma->iova +
dma->size). So either we have to fix the size argument send to
vfio_find_dma() or we have to fix rb-tree creation and search logic.
I took the former path here. I'll add this detail in commit description
and split it as you mentioned above.

Thanks,
Kirti
