For OMAP4, I guess Camera is not going to use IOMMU module. IOMMU modules will be used only by the IPC that are communicating with 2 remote Cores (Ducati and Tesla). Having said this, there might not be any clients of IOMMU in the Kernel space as we are looking at the option of using the IOMMU as a character driver from User-space. For this reason, I think we should have the configuration option to build iommu. Please let me know your comments.
