Can you elaborate on that panic?

Frankly, if any part of the unmap fails then things have gone 
catastrophically wrong already, but either way this isn't right. The 
IOVA API doesn't support partial freeing - an IOVA *must* be freed with 
its original size, or not freed at all, otherwise it will corrupt the 
state of the rcaches and risk a cascade of further misbehaviour for 
future callers.

TBH my gut feeling here is that you're really just trying to treat a 
symptom of another bug elsewhere, namely some driver calling dma_unmap_* 
or dma_free_* with the wrong address or size in the first place.
