I haven't had a chance yet to closely review the latest patchset 
versions, but I did test this v4 and confirmed that it solves the issue 
of not being able to unmap an IOVA range extending up to the address 
space boundary. I verified both with the simplified test case at:
https://gist.github.com/aljimenezb/f3338c9c2eda9b0a7bf5f76b40354db8

plus using QEMU's amd-iommu and a guest with iommu.passthrough=0 
iommu.forcedac=1 (which is how I first found the problem).

So Alex Mastro, please feel free to add:

for the series. I'll try to find time to review the patches in detail.

Thank you,
Alejandro
