The DMA direction from DMA-API maps to the protections in iommu_map():

DMA_FROM_DEVICE: IOMMU_WRITE
DMA_TO_DEVICE: IOMMU_READ
DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL IOMMU_READ | IOMMU_WRITE

And for the sync DMA-API also has separate functions for either
direction. So I don't see why these extra functions are needed in the
IOMMU-API.
