Probably, or the reason is that we a notifier with UNMAP only is not
commonly used before until patch 2.

It seems it doesn't' harm to allow both UNMAP and DEVIOTLB_UNMAP work.

This seems cleaner ( I remember we had some discussion before ).

I'm fine to go without iova-tree. Would you mind to post patches for
fix? I can test and include it in this series then.
