True. I had assumed that every implementation would set smmu->impl
anyway, in which case there'd be little reason to use these default
fallbacks since each implementation could simply directly refer to the
exact implementation that it wants.

Perhaps the above could be made a bit more palatable by using a standard
if/else rather than the ternary operator? That would also more closely
match the pattern elsewhere.
