ARM_DMA_USE_IOMMU gets this right, it selects NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH as it
actually needs it.
The IOMMU_DMA symbol is a bit strange, and the dependency can probably
get dropped altogether, but at least here it told us what went wrong.

Ok.

That would run into the NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH problem on other architectures
that don't already set it, right?
