In the particular AMD IOMMU case it doesn't look like we are, but we
do in other cases.

It may be easier to make the caller avoid RCU synchronization
altogether if that's not necessary and the caller should actually be
able to figure out when that's the case.
The patch from Lv at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9504277/ goes
in the right direction IMO, but I'm not yet convinced that this is the
right one.
