Umm, that's basically what we have already? Architectures that use iommu_dma_ops select IOMMU_DMA. The only issue is the oddity of x86 treating IOMMU drivers as part of its arch code, which has never come up against a cross-architecture driver until now. Hence the options of either maintaining that paradigm and having the 'x86 arch code' aspect of this driver "select IOMMU_DMA if x86" such that it works out equivalent to AMD_IOMMU, or a more involved cleanup to move that responsibility out of drivers/iommu/Kconfig entirely and have arch/x86/Kconfig do something like "select IOMMU_DMA if IOMMU_API", as Jean suggested up-thread. In the specific context of IOMMU_DMA we're not talking about any kind of white-list, merely a one-off special case for one particular architecture. Robin.
