As far as I know the VT-d driver is available on 32 bit x86 too. So this should
not always be a nop.
The other question is why pci_unmap_* functions are not defined as a nop too
and call dma_unmap_* instead? This looks inconsisent to me.

I think we need another solution which takes into account that there might be
VT-d enabled and which defines the pci_unmap_* functions also as a nop when it
is not. I suggest to make a CONFIG option for these functions nit being a nop
and let DMA_API_DEBUG select it on x86. So we get proper checking for drivers
on 32bit x86 too which helps other architectures where these drivers can be
used.
