I prefer reusing the existing SMMU and having MC and SMMU separated
since most of SMMU code are not different from functionality POV, and
new MC features are quite independent of SMMU.

If it's really convenient to combine MC and SMMU into one driver, we
could move "drivers/iomm/tegra-smmu.c" here first, and add MC features
on the top of it.
