It's not as simple as that. We use the iovad->start_pfn member as a flag 
for the IOVA domain being initialized. However that does not mean always 
properly initialized. As above, the rcache init may fail, but in this 
case we still set start_pfn.

This comes into play when we have multiple devices in the same IOMMU 
group, for example, as I mentioned yesterday.

Thanks,
John
