If you can convert it to plain DMA API usage, please do.

I did look into an IOMMU API memory allocator, and while we can do it
easily for coherent devices, we need some arch hooks for non-coherent
device support. With a pending series from me we have those for arm64,
but 32-bit arm support will require a lot more work first.
