We have a couple of users of the iommu API at the moment outside of
GPUs:

* drivers/media/platform/omap3isp/isp.c
* drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c
* drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_uiom.c
* drivers/vfio/

I assume we will see a few more over time. The vfio case is the most
important one here, since that is what the iommu API was designed for.
