Last unclosed open. Jason, you dislike symbol_get in this contract per
earlier comment. As Alex explained, looks it's more about module
dependency which is orthogonal to how this contract is designed. What
is your opinion now?

Generally when you see symbol_get like this it suggests something is
wrong in the layering..

Why shouldn't kvm have a normal module dependency on drivers/iommu?

It allows KVM to load even if there's an "install /bin/false" for vfio (typically used together with the blacklist directive) in modprobe.conf. This rationale should apply to iommu as well.
