(aside: I think "iommuable" is a horrible word!). What happens if you do the deferring at the bus level? E.g. defer all device probes on a bus, until the IOMMU is probed for that bus. That might fit better with future work, where we will almost certainly need to expose more of the bus topology to Linux. Of course, I can see that falling down for monolithic virtual buses like the platform bus.
