That separate hunk would be unbuildable since arm-smmu depends on the
IOMMU_EXEC define.  Patch 2/ is also in iommu code and gates patch 3/ in
arm-smmu.  The IOMMU-core changes are pretty trivial, so perhaps Joerg
would be willing to ACK 1&2 and let Will include the first 3 patches
through his tree.

These first 3 patches should have been sent on their own since they're
small an obvious so they don't get hung up on the reset of the series.
Thanks,

Alex
