It's also completely upside-down: The iommu support should provide interfaces
using the dma-mapping API, not use that API to provide a machine specific
version of the generic interface.

As far as I can tell, nothing actually uses these drivers, maybe we should just
remove them before we get any code in the mainline kernel that depends on it.
