FWIW I'd expect that locking to be pretty much immaterial - many devices 
are getting their own uncontended groups, and callers of this tend to be 
serialised at a higher level anyway. iommu_probe_device() usually runs 
off the back of the device_add() notifier (where it could be that it's 
the only thing making noise in between something *else* being slow), but 
there is the special case where it gets replayed for all existing 
devices when the IOMMU driver registers itself - at a guess it seems 
like it may well be the latter case you're seeing, but either way 
there's not much to say without figuring out where the time is actually 
being spent (I don't suppose that machine has dynamic ftrace enabled?).

That said, setting up a new group isn't a completely insignificant 
amount of work, and 142 groups seems a lot - I'd have assumed that a 
system of that scale would be the kind of big server kit that takes 
several minutes to boot to the point of even starting the kernel anyway.
