This is missing a check to see whether the appropriate hardware is
present.  This file should also be renamed to something less generic, and
depend on a kconfig symbol more specific than CONFIG_PPC64.

When this is combined with CONFIG_FSL_PAMU on hardware with a PAMU, I get
a bunch of those "WARN_ON(dev->iommu_group)" dumps because PAMU already
got to them.  Presumably without PAMU it silently (or with just pr_debug)
bails out at some other point.
