I'm basically using these patches to test the PCI passthrough functionality (by which we can assign host PCI devices to a guest OS via KVM). While other methods of handling DMA operations are being worked on (1-1 mapping of the guest in the host address space and virtualization-aware IOMMU translations), this patchset provides a quick way to check if things indeed work. However, if some version of this patch can be useful upstream, I'll be glad to work on that. That said, as you point out, we need stackable dma ops as well as getting rid of the is_pv_device() function in dma_ops and that's something that can be done right away. Thanks for the review!
