How can this possibly work?
The main thing stopping me from reposting my fix that it'd be nice to
figure out if a real IOMMU device is bound or not. If we don't have
real per-device mappings we presumably don't have to wait. If we can
check this condition we are guaranteed not to introduce regressions,
since we would be replacing a crash by a wait, which is strictly better.
If we'd need to fiddle with too many internals to find out if we have
to wait - let's just always wait and see if anyone complains.
