We definitely need something like your series to make iommus work transparently
on ARM for normal devices, using the of_dma_configure() to look up the correct
iommu per device and initialize it.

However, any devices that work with multiple iommu domains cannot do that
and still need to use the iommu API directy. I believe the tegra drm code
falls into this category.
