Rename the IOMMU DMA mapping functions to better reflect their actual
calling convention. The functions iommu_dma_map_page() and
iommu_dma_unmap_page() are renamed to iommu_dma_map_phys() and
iommu_dma_unmap_phys() respectively, as they already operate on physical
addresses rather than page structures.

The calling convention changes from accepting (struct page *page,
unsigned long offset) to (phys_addr_t phys), which eliminates the need
for page-to-physical address conversion within the functions. This
renaming prepares for the broader DMA API conversion from page-based
to physical address-based mapping throughout the kernel.

All callers are updated to pass physical addresses directly, including
dma_map_page_attrs(), scatterlist mapping functions, and DMA page
allocation helpers. The change simplifies the code by removing the
page_to_phys() + offset calculation that was previously done inside
the IOMMU functions.

This looks fine

But related to other patches..

iommu_dma_map_phys() ends up like this:

	if (dev_use_swiotlb(dev, size, dir) &&
	    iova_unaligned(iovad, phys, size)) {
		if (attrs & DMA_ATTR_MMIO)
			return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR;

		phys = iommu_dma_map_swiotlb(dev, phys, size, dir, attrs);

But attrs is passed all the way down to swiotlb_tbl_map_single(),
maybe the DMA_ATTR_MMIO check should be moved there?

There are a few call chains with this redundancy:

dma_iova_link()
 -> iommu_dma_iova_link_swiotlb
  -> iommu_dma_iova_bounce_and_link
   -> iommu_dma_map_swiotlb
    -> swiotlb_tbl_map_single()

iommu_dma_map_phys() 
   -> iommu_dma_map_swiotlb
    -> swiotlb_tbl_map_single()

dma_direct_map_phys()
 -> swiotlb_map()
  -> swiotlb_tbl_map_single()

It makes alot of sense to put the check for MMIO when
slots[].orig_addr is stored because that is the point where we start
to require a pfn_to_page().
