This belongs into a header if it is non-static.  If you only
use it in this file anyway please mark it static and avoid a forward
declaration.

This needs a big fat comment explaining what is going on here.

Also not new, but I find the existance of virtio_has_iommu_quirk and its
name horribly confusing.  It might be better to open code it here once
only a single caller is left.
