Thanks for your patch, which is now commit a8e5f04458c4e496
("iommu/io-pgtable: Remove non-strict quirk") in iommu/next.

If CONFIG_IOMMU_API=n:

error: ‘struct iommu_iotlb_gather’ has no member named ‘queued’

This can be reproduced using e.g. shmobile_defconfig with
    CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT=y
    CONFIG_IOMMU_IO_PGTABLE_ARMV7S=y

Perhaps "select IOMMU_API" should be added (moved from individual
drivers) to both IOMMU_IO_PGTABLE_ARMV7S and IOMMU_IO_PGTABLE_LPAE?
Or iommu_iotlb_gather.queued should not be accessed here, or the
access wrapped into a static inline helper function with a dummy for
the CONFIG_IOMMU_API=n case?
