Nvidia ARM SoC Tegra3 has IOMMU(SMMU), and most of its peripheral
devices can be clients of IOMMU. Their IOMMU'abiblity can be
configured. With DMA-mapping API, we wouldn't have to change any of
device driver code with\without IOMMU, but those 'dma_addr_t' could be
physical address or device virtual address trasparently.
