Hi David,

I think I sorted a way to handle this such that, when direct mapping, we use a 
memory region alias instead so that vfio can ultimately handle all of the 
pinning/unpinning in the non-iommu path of vfio_listener_region_add/del, just 
like it does for other platforms.  But for s390 the alias is needed to provide 
the SDMA offset so as to ensure that e.g. GPA X maps to iova SDMA+X.  Looks to 
be working nicely so far with my rework of the associated kernel series -- 
Going to send as part of v2, would appreciate it if you'd give that a look.

Thanks,
Matt
