The IOVMM API is layered top of the IOMMU API. It's really a separate API, so 
two header files make sense. This patch creates a hybrid omap-iommu.h header 
with mixed definitions, it just doesn't feel right :-) I won't insist for a 
split though, if you think it's better to have a single header we can keep it 
that way.
