Hmm, that is a difficult situation. Even if the problem is a misuse of
the APIs we can not just blindly break other drivers by our core
changes.

We need to resolve this situation pretty soon, otherwise I need to
remove the locking rework patches from the IOMMU tree until the
callers are fixed.

Is there a way to keep the broken drivers working for now?
