I still think this doesn't belong anywhere near io-pgtable at all. It's 
a driver-internal decision how exactly it implements a non-leaf 
invalidation, and that may be more complex than a predetermined boolean 
decision. For example, I've just realised for SMMUv3 we can't invalidate 
multiple levels of table at once with a range command, since if we 
assume the whole thing is mapped at worst-case page granularity we may 
fail to invalidate any parts which are mapped as intermediate-level 
blocks. If invalidating a 1GB region (with 4KB granule) means having to 
fall back to 256K non-range commands, we may not want to invalidate by 
VA then, even though doing so for a 2MB region is still optimal.

It's also quite feasible that drivers might want to do this for leaf 
invalidations too - if you don't like issuing 512 commands to invalidate 
2MB, do you like issuing 511 commands to invalidate 2044KB? - and at 
that point the logic really has to be in the driver anyway.
