This would fix the compile-time failure, but it still fails my CI
because you introduce
a compile-time warning. Can you change it into a runtime warning instead?

Neither type of warning is likely to actually reach the person trying
to debug the
problem, so you still end up with machines that don't do what they should,
but I can live with the runtime warning as long as the build doesn't break.

I think the proper fix would be to not rely on custom hooks into a particular
IOMMU driver, but to instead ensure that the amdgpu driver can do everything
it needs through the regular linux/iommu.h interfaces. I realize this
is more work,
but I wonder if you've tried that, and why it didn't work out.
