Yes. I don't know whether or when that initialization order will ever
be changed, but I do think we should avoid building more
infrastructure that depends on the current order.

Changing the order is a pretty big deal because it's a lot more than
just the IOMMU. Basically I think we should be enumerating ACPI
devices, including the IOMMU, before PCI devices, but there's a lot of
legacy involved in that area. Added Rafael in case he has any
thoughts.
