I was thinking only this one would be supported with a core code
helper..

.. because I don't have an idea how a core code helper could figure
out what the platform needs for the above two ..

I think many of the iommu platforms will need to construct their own
bus address in the iommu, and we already have easy access to the CPU
address.

Presumably once a transcation passes through the iommu it needs to be
using the CPU address for the target bar, otherwise things are going
to be ambiguous..
