I understand, if it was self-contained in driver code that would be fine
but in core code with possible multiple consumers this must be
documented/enforced, somehow.

We should also revert any IOVA reservation we did prior to this
error, right ?

Anyway, I think it is best to ensure it *is* sorted.

I don't think that commenting dma_ranges would help much, I am more
keen on making it work by construction.

This makes sense IMO and I would like to take this approach if you
don't mind.

Either this or we move the whole IOVA reservation and dma-ranges
parsing into PCI IProc.

I think what you outline above is a sensible way forward - if we
miss the merge window so be it.
