This patch enables the IOMMU-OF-node<->device look-up on non-OF (ie
ACPI) systems by "converting" the of_node to a generic fwnode_handle,
that's all it does (and move the related look-up code from
drivers/iommu/of_iommu.c to drivers/iommu/iommu.c so that it does
not depend on OF_IOMMU any longer).

I can put this patch on the backburner and retrieve the iommu_ops
through the dev->bus path in the IORT xlate function (iort_iommu_xlate()
introduced in the last patch), the change is trivial and should work
just fine but it deserves a v8 to give everyone a chance to test it.

We would end-up handling the device->iommu_ops look-up differently in DT
and ACPI for streamid translations though, I am not sure I see a reason
why.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
