Subject: [PATCH] Revert "drm/exynos: IOMMU support should not be selectable by user"

This reverts commit 8dcc14f82f06fce997e35f4c77ced9d4ed192f31.

This patch causes this error on Arndale:

[    1.643800] kernel BUG at drivers/iommu/exynos-iommu.c:481!

I am afraid I am not very familiar with either IOMMU or DRM, so
apologies if I am missing anything and fixing the underlying problem in
exynos-iommu.c is beyond my knowledge.

That said this appears to be related to the the fact archdata.iommu is
never set to anything in drivers/iommu/exynos-iommu.c.  It looks to me
like the exynos-iommu driver is broken as nothing initialises the
exynos_iommu_owner structure, this doesn't look to be the result of
recent changes either so I assume it has been broken for some time. If I
had to guess I would suggest this driver works in some out of tree
implementation, but not in mainline. Simplest solution seems
to be to revert this patch such that the IOMMU driver is not built in
on Arndale until it is fixed.
