Device core calls BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER on each driver unbind, regardless of a device being removed or not. As long as the device is not unplugged and the BUS_NOTIFY_REMOVED_DEVICE notification not generated, an unbound driver is not a problem here. Morever, BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER is called even before BUS_NOTIFY_REMOVED_DEVICE so that wouldn't help anyway. Last but not least, bus events are independent of the IOMMU driver use via DMA-API it exposes.
If keeping data for unplugged devices and reusing it on device re-plug is not acceptable then maybe the IOMMU driver should perform reference counting of its internal resources occupied by DMA-API users and perform cleanups on last release?
Thanks, Janusz
