I've been testing patches with added shutdown handlers, also looking
at reboot notifier hooks. In both cases, devices actively running DMA
traffic at system shutdown (eg. storage) might be affected by
too-early IOMMU disable call. This topic was already brought up in the
discussion [1] about kexec reboot flow.

In this series I'd prefer to keep the IOMMU active during shutdown,
and prepare the RISC-V IOMMU shutdown sequence implementation as a
separate series, as it will involve more risc-v reboot rework to
guarantee ordering of the shutdown callbacks. In a normal reboot
cycle, firmware/hardware reset should bring IOMMU to known
out-of-reset state anyway.
