Tegra-GART is exactly an emulated IOMMU, it doesn't have anything like TLB and it's simply a remapping table. What is actually needed for the GART - is to make sure that the remapping table modifications reach GART HW before anything tries to touch the modified page entries. Presumable there is some kind of a HW buffer that accumulates multiple registers writes and issues them in bursts to improve performance, read-after-write is the way to flush that buffer.
