The SMMU driver depends on the availability of the ARM LPAE and

Nit: we don't really depend on v7s - we *can* use it if it's available,
address constraints are suitable, and the SMMU implementation actually
supports it (many don't), but we can still quite happily not use it even
so. LPAE is mandatory in the architecture so that's our only hard
requirement, embodied in the kconfig select.
This does mean there may technically still be a corner case involving
ARM_SMMU=y and IO_PGTABLE_ARM_V7S=m, but at worst it's now a runtime
failure rather than a build error, so unless and until anyone
demonstrates that it actually matters I don't feel particularly inclined
to give it much thought.
Robin.
for having the io-pgtable formats as modules, add a "pre"
dependency with MODULE_SOFTDEP() to ensure that the io-pgtable
format modules are loaded before loading the ARM SMMU driver module.
