Yes, that sounds good. If the only reason to need dma_length is virtual merging,
a clearer (from the Kconfig perspective, not from the implementation) name 
might be CONFIG_HAVE_IOMMU_VMERGE, similar to the CONFIG_IOMMU_VMERGE option
on PPC64 that determines the default for the virtual merging runtime option.
