Well, having an initial iommu driver upstream will provide a good base 
on top of which we can work on that specific problem. It'll need some 
consideration/discussion to be done in a way that is not regarded as a 
hack. I might come back to this later, time permitting.

Thanks for the review and testing! I'll send an updated version that 
removes the blocking domain, hopefully that will be ready for inclusion.
