Hmm. I looked at this, and kill off ->dma_enable_flush_queue for the ARM drivers and just looking at iommu_dma_strict seems like a very clear win. OTOH x86 is a little more complicated. AMD and intel defaul to lazy mode, so we'd have to change the global iommu_dma_strict if they are initialized. Also Intel has not only a "static" option to disable lazy mode, but also a "dynamic" one where it iterates structure. So I think on the get side we're stuck with the method, but it still simplifies the whole thing.
