OK, I did get this message before the reported BUG message.

gpiohsd gpiohsd: DMA-API: device driver tries to free DMA memory it has not allocated [device address=0xffffffffffee8000] [size=8192 bytes]

But I've verified that the dma_addr_t that I get for the alloc, and also use for the free is 0x00000000ffee8000 in this case? Is device "address=0xffffffffffee8000" in that message a bug in the message or do we have a sign extended address problem? It seems strange to me, I've never seen a dma_addr_t given, when using the iommu, that high. In the past I've seen them as usually 0x00xxxxxx?

I have also verified that simply changing from pci_alloc/free_consistent to the newer DMA API fixes my issue and I get no such messages.
