+ *
+ * For example, for something recording dirty IOVAs, it will be provided a
+ * struct iova_bitmap structure, as a general structure for iterating the
+ * total IOVA range. The struct iova_bitmap_map, though, represents the
+ * subset of said IOVA space that is pinned by its parent structure (struct
+ * iova_bitmap).
+ *
+ * The user does not need to exact location of the bits in the bitmap.
+ * From user perspective the only API available is iova_bitmap_set() which
+ * records the IOVA *range* in the bitmap by setting the corresponding
+ * bits.
+ *
+ * The bitmap is an array of u64 whereas each bit represents an IOVA of
+ * range of (1 << pgshift). Thus formula for the bitmap data to be set is:
+ *
+ *   data[(iova / page_size) / 64] & (1ULL << (iova % 64))

+ * struct iova_bitmap - The IOVA bitmap object
+ *
+ * Main data structure for iterating over the bitmap data.
+ *
+ * Abstracts the pinning work and iterates in IOVA ranges.
+ * It uses a windowing scheme and pins the bitmap in relatively
+ * big ranges e.g.
+ *
+ * The bitmap object uses one base page to store all the pinned pages
+ * pointers related to the bitmap. For sizeof(struct page) == 64 it stores
+ * 512 struct pages which, if the base page size is 4K, it means 2M of bitmap
+ * data is pinned at a time. If the iova_bitmap page size is also 4K
+ * then the range window to iterate is 64G.
+ *
+ * For example iterating on a total IOVA range of 4G..128G, it will walk
+ * through this set of ranges:
+ *
+ *    4G  -  68G-1 (64G)
+ *    68G - 128G-1 (64G)
+ *
+ * An example of the APIs on how to use/iterate over the IOVA bitmap:
+ *
+ *   bitmap = iova_bitmap_alloc(iova, length, page_size, data);
+ *   if (IS_ERR(bitmap))
+ *       return PTR_ERR(bitmap);
+ *
+ *   ret = iova_bitmap_for_each(bitmap, arg, dirty_reporter_fn);
+ *
+ *   iova_bitmap_free(bitmap);
+ *
+ * An implementation of the lower end (referred to above as
+ * dirty_reporter_fn to exemplify), that is tracking dirty bits would mark
+ * an IOVA as dirty as following:
+ *     iova_bitmap_set(bitmap, iova, page_size);
+ * Or a contiguous range (example two pages):
+ *     iova_bitmap_set(bitmap, iova, 2 * page_size);
+ *
+ * The internals of the object uses an index @mapped_base_index that indexes
+ * which u64 word of the bitmap is mapped, up to @mapped_total_index.
+ * Those keep being incremented until @mapped_total_index reaches while
+ * mapping up to PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page*) maximum of pages.

+ * some form of IOVA range tracking that co-relates to the user passed
