Going off on a tangent, is it actually right for that to depend on a 
NEED_* symbol, or should that really be a select instead?

You could use one solely for VFIO without caring about DMA ops - I think 
that's mostly how ARM SMMUs are being used in practice at the moment - 
but DMA-focused 'media' IOMMUs vastly outnumber 'virtualisation' IOMMUs 
on ARM, so it would probably make sense. We already have the equivalent 
"select IOMMU_DMA if IOMMU_SUPPORT" on arm64.

If going down this route, I'd be inclined to add an "if ARM" there, just 
for clarity.

As above, this is already selected on arm64, and isn't used on 32-bit*, 
so could probably just be removed, especially if it leads to build issues.

Robin.

*yet, of course. I need to have a proper look over Marek's RFC ;)
