So that much looks OK, if there are no obvious errors. Unfortunately 
there's no easy way to tell exactly what of_iommu_configure() is doing 
(beyond enabling a couple of vague debug messages). The first thing I'll 
do tomorrow is double-check whether it's really working on my boards 
here, or whether I was just getting lucky with CMA... (I assume you 
don't have CMA enabled if you're ending up in remap_allocator_alloc())

Robin.
