Yes, I know, it's messy :-/ There's a handful of non-IOMMU drivers calling 
arm_iommu_attach_device() directly too. All these should be fixed, but in the 
meantime, let's try not to break them.

Thank you. You might want to use an unsigned int bitfield instead of a bool 
bitfield as Sakari suggested. It would be nice to check the code setting the 
dma_coherent field to make sure there will be no race with code setting the 
new dma_ops_setup field (which might not be the best name, feel free to rename 
it).

I have successfully test the patch, let me know if there's anything else I can 
do to help.
