Why?  Who else can use this becides arm devices?

Will that really happen?  Do you have patches that do that?  I'd prefer
to not do stuff like this until you have a patch series that needs it,
otherwise this is just unneeded churn.

Are you sure this will not break the build on systems that enable that
option, yet do not include iommu-helper.h?
