I saw that, but I spent some time searching and could not find an
iommu driver that would load independently of OF or ACPI. ie no IOMMU
platform drivers are created by board files. Things like Intel/AMD
discover only from ACPI, etc.

So it might be OK in the constrained case of having an iommu_domain
attached to the device being queried?
