We are adding iommu support to exynos gsc and s5p-mfc.
And these two drivers need to be built as modules to improve boot time.

We're calling these three functions from inside these drivers:
e.g.
mapping = arm_iommu_create_mapping(&platform_bus_type, 0x20000000, SZ_256M,
4);
arm_iommu_attach_device(mdev, mapping);

Right, it should be EXPORT_SYMOBL_GPL().

Will update in next patch.
