As of today, doing iommu_range_alloc() only for !largealloc (npages <= 15) will only be able to use 3/4 of the available pages, given pages on largepool not being available for !largealloc.
This could mean some drivers not being able to fully use all the available pages for the DMA window. Add pages on largepool as a last resort for !largealloc, making all pages of the DMA window available.
