I find the subject (commit short) sub optimal. The 'arch' is already
accepting devices 'without IOMMU feature'. What you are introducing is
the ability to reject.

I don't particularly like the commit message. In general, I believe
using access_platform instead of iommu_platform would really benefit us.

arch/s390/mm/init.c including virtio.h looks a bit strange to me, but
if Heiko and Vasily don't mind, neither do I.

Maybe prefixing the name with virtio_ would help provide the
proper context.

Adding some people that could be interested in overriding this as well
to the cc list.

Why EIO?

Overall, I think it is a good idea to have something that is going to
protect us from this scenario.
