The AMD IOMMU driver only uses per-device dma_ops. They are assigned to
each device in device_dma_ops_init() at boot and in the
device_change_notifier() on hotplug events.

Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunatly this somehow conflicts with
my recent default-domain patch-set, which moves functionality into the
IOMMU core and converts the AMD driver to make use of it. I have no real
idea yet how to make both work, but it shouldn't be too hard. Maybe you can
have a look into that patch-set too?
