For me, amd-iommu.h is architecture specific, for this kind of headers,
if it is used by most of archs, it will be in "include/asm-generic". If
it is used by several archs, it will be in "arch/*/include/asm/".

So for me, at present, it is only used by x86, so is move to "arch/x86/
include/asm/"; if another archs want it, they can copy one.  If quite a
few archs (e.g. > 3 archs) need it, move it to "include/asm-generic".


Thanks.
