In fact, shortly after I said that I had a "how hard can it be?" moment 
and took a crack at it myself - sorry, I should probably have cc'd you 
on that series[1].

Ultimately we'd like to get rid of the bus relationship altogether, so I 
don't think it's really worth adding more infrastructure around it. 
Having of-iommu-based drivers set bus ops at probe time, and others 
conditionally from an initcall, is pretty clean and simple, so I'd 
rather stick with that approach for now.
