That wouldn't be too difficult to implement in IOMMU drivers, but I have a 
feeling we would duplicate the same logic in several drivers. Adding fields to 
struct iommu (possibly with a couple of helper functions) as mentioned below 
might help. Another option would be to call the add_device_master_ids a single 
time with a list of all ids, but the core code might become pretty ugly.
