Yeah, I meant that we could extend it to make it useful for other
iommu implementations. At least, we could make something generic like
struct iommu_functions, I think. Then we can embed a generic iommu
structure into an iommu specific struct (like we do with inode).

The current iommu-api (include/linux/iommu.h) is just about domain and
mapping concept. We can implement it on the top of the above
infrastructure.

I'm still trying to figure out how the DMA-API can work well with
them.
