message Exclude the first page from I/O virtual address space, which is the NULL
pointer address. Not allowing this one to be allocated might help find
driver bugs, where the device is programmed with a NULL pointer. We have
plenty of address space anyway, so excluding this single page does not
hurt at all and can only have positive effects.

message Add a guard page between I/O virtual address space allocations. The idea
is that IOVA allocations always have a gap in-between which produces a fault
on access. If a transfer to a given allocation runs further than expected
we should be able to see it. We pre-allocate IOVA on bus DMA map creation,
and as long as we don't allocate a PTE descriptor, this comes with no cost.
We have plenty of address space anyway, so adding a page-sized gap does not
hurt at all and can only have positive effects.
