You've got a problem anyway with this approach.  If you look at my
figure 2 and apply it to this scenario, you have two MMUs stacked
on top of each other.  That's something that (afaik) we don't support,
but it's entirely possible that will come along with ARM64.

It may not be nice to have to treat GPUs specially, but I think we
really do need to, and forget the idea that the GPU's IOMMU (as
opposed to a system MMU) should appear in a generic form in DT.
