Does this sound okay ? It will merge patch 3 and 4 into a single one.
On the other hand it also passes the responsibility of dealing with
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM flag to the architecture callback which might
be bit problematic. Keeping VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM handling in virtio
core at least makes sure that the device has a working DMA ops to fall
back on if the arch hook fails to take care of it somehow.
