I don't want to get in the way of this patch because I'm also tired of the
randconfig failures caused by QCOM_SCM. However, ARM_SMMU is applicable to
a wide variety of (non-qcom) SoCs and so it seems a shame to require the
QCOM_SCM code to be included for all of those when it's not strictly needed
at all.
