+ *
+ * Abstracts the pinning work to iterate an IOVA ranges.
+ * It uses a windowing scheme and pins the bitmap in relatively

+ *
+ * The iterator 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 base page size is 4096 it means 2M
+ * of bitmap data is pinned at a time. If the iova_bitmap page size is
+ * also base page size 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 iterate the IOVA bitmap:
+ *
+ *   ret = iova_bitmap_iter_init(&iter, iova, PAGE_SIZE, length, data);
+ *   if (ret)
+ *       return -ENOMEM;

+ *
+ *        if (iova_dirty)
+ *            iova_bitmap_set(&iter.dirty, iova, PAGE_SIZE);
+ *
+ * The internals of the object use a cursor @offset that indexes
+ * which part u64 word of the bitmap is mapped, up to @count.
+ * Those keep being incremented until @count reaches while mapping
+ * up to PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page*) maximum of pages.
+ *

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