Oh wow, I should have looked at more context... Even better, this one is 
already just an elaborate "if (true)" - it has been impossible for 
dev_has_iommu_table() to return 0 since at least 2015 :D

And in fact those appear to mostly serve for printing debug messages; if 
we made iommu_group_add_device() return -EBUSY for duplicate calls (not 
necessarily a bad idea anyway vs. relying on the noisy failure of 
sysfs_create_link()), they could arguably just go.

All in all, it's only actually the habanalabs ones that I'm slightly 
wary of, since they're effectively (mis)using device_iommu_mapped() to 
infer the DMA ops implementation, which could potentially go wrong (or 
at least *more* wrong) on POWER with this change. I guess the saving 
grace is that although they are available on PCIe-interfaced modules, 
the userspace driver stack seems to be implicitly x86_64-only - as far 
as I could tell from a quick poke around their site and documentation, 
which doesn't appear to acknowledge the concept of CPU architectures at 
all - so the chances of anyone actually trying to use the kernel drivers 
in anger on POWER seem minimal.

Thanks,
Robin.
