I wound the head back to "iommu: Clean up bus_set_iommu" and tested it
on an Intel machine. It got stuck during boot. This test was on a remote
machine and I have no means to access it physically. So I can't get any
kernel debugging messages. (I have to work from home these days. :-()

I guess it's due to the fact that intel_iommu_probe_device() callback
only works for the pci devices. The issue occurs when probing a device
other than a PCI one.
