I can do that using IS_ENABLED() magic, which will cause the iommu_ops
to be thrown away automatically when IOMMU_API is disabled. That allows
the driver to be compiled with full coverage and still only include the
needed parts in the final binary.

Then again, going forward it doesn't seem likely that we'll ever want to
disable IOMMU on Tegra once it's been enabled, so this isn't really a
big issue.
