Hmm, actually the force-isolation parameters that different IOMMU
drivers implement are for their version of the DMA-API which is not yet
available in the generic IOMMU layer. Unless this changes I think it is
a good idea to keep these parameters close to the actual DMA-API
implementation used and not move them to the IOMMU layer.
