This for one is clearly broken, because the IOVA allocator still returns 
0 on failure here...

..and here.

I very much agree with the concept, but I think the way to go about it 
is to convert the implementations which need it to the standardised 
*_MAPPING_ERROR value one-by-one, and only then then do the big sweep to 
remove them all. That has more of a chance of getting worthwhile review 
and testing from the respective relevant parties (I'll confess I came 
looking for this bug specifically, since I happened to recall amd_iommu 
having a tricky implicit reliance on the old DMA_ERROR_CODE being 0 on x86).

In terms of really minimising the error-checking overhead it's a bit of 
a shame that DMA_MAPPING_ERROR = 0 doesn't seem viable as the thing to 
standardise on, since that has advantages at the micro-optimisation 
level for many ISAs - fixing up the legacy IOMMU code doesn't seem 
insurmountable, but I suspect there may well be non-IOMMU platforms 
where DMA to physical address 0 is a thing :(

(yeah, I know saving a couple of instructions and potential register 
allocations is down in the noise when we're already going from an 
indirect call to an inline comparison; I'm mostly just thinking out loud 
there)
