I was also thinking of renaming the file some time ago. The correct
name would be "sun4m_iommu.c". Sun4c (while still Sparc based) had a
different architecture (IIRC CPU MMU doubled as IOMMU) and Sun4d had
several IO-UNITs instead. All Sun4m machines had an IOMMU.

But the qdev name of the device is still "iommu" and we can't change
that. So I'm not so sure it's worth renaming. Can't AMD IOMMU reside
in amd_iommu.c?

I'd go for the (filename) rename. The qdev name shouldn't cause conflicts due to the different targets.

cheers,
