Basically yes though at least on LPARs the firmware interface that
gives us the initial zdev->end returns an even higher value but we
clamp it down to the aperture. It is "start + length - 1".

Yes will do. In the meantime I'm now close to sending an RFC version of
the conversion to dma-iommu. So my plan is to send out 3 series of
patches.

1. v3 of this series of IOMMU fixes including your suggestion to use
reserved ranges, the previously mentioned off-by-one fix and another
IOMMU issue I found (pgsize_bitmap is wrong).

2. A series of improvements to the s390 IOMMU code including
implementing map_pages() and lock-free page table updates

3. A series converting s390 to use dma-iommu plus changes against dma-
iommu.c common code to implement an alternative flushing scheme that
brings z/VM and KVM guest PCI performance back to the level of our
existing DMA API implementation.
