It's easy to remove a bunch of code when the result is breaking
everyone else.  Please share with me how SR-IOV backed mdevs continue
to work on AMD platforms, or how they might work on ARM platforms, when
siov_iommu_ops (VT-d only) becomes the one and only provider of
iommu_ops on the mdev bus.  Hard NAK on this series.  Thanks,

Alex
