Nit: we don't really depend on v7s - we *can* use it if it's available, 
address constraints are suitable, and the SMMU implementation actually 
supports it (many don't), but we can still quite happily not use it even 
so. LPAE is mandatory in the architecture so that's our only hard 
requirement, embodied in the kconfig select.

This does mean there may technically still be a corner case involving 
ARM_SMMU=y and IO_PGTABLE_ARM_V7S=m, but at worst it's now a runtime 
failure rather than a build error, so unless and until anyone 
demonstrates that it actually matters I don't feel particularly inclined 
to give it much thought.
