Except that there isn't really a "generic iommu code"... discovery,
initialization & matching of iommu vs.

In order to safely drive a device with a userspace driver, or to pass
it through to a guest system, we must first make sure that the device
is isolated in such a way that it cannot interfere with other devices
on the system. This isolation is only available on some systems and
