ARM SMMU was the only one being enabled on 64-bit where I noticed this,
but from a quick glance a couple of the other ARM driver are affected as
well. I'll see if I can find the time to come up with a similar patch.

Of course if these IOMMU drivers were proper drivers and bind to a
device, then this problem wouldn't exist in the first place.
