Yes indeed this is not "correct" however I didn't know how to do it properly so I am sending this as "RFC" to get some help to clean this up properly :)

If I understood correctly the remaining part of your review: including this header is not needed anymore since we don't need to call `iommu_setup_dma_ops()` anymore.

So let's remove both the incorrect non-public header include and the call to iommu_setup_dma_ops().

Indeed our arch never does any speculative prefetching on data.

Alright, let's remove this.

Let's remove the `if device_iommu_mapped(dev)) iommu_setup_dma_ops(dev);` then.

Thanks!
