Yeah, I discussed this with a few others at LPC. My current idea is to
tell the iommu-core which hardware-iommus exist in the system and a
seperate iommu_ops ptr for each of them. Then every struct device can
link to the iommu-instance it is translated by.

We are not there yet, but this will give you the same per-device
iommu-ops as implemented here.
