FYI, this patch doesn't fit on top of iommu-next, I'd guess at least due to baolu's 'Retire detach_dev callback' series, which removed .detach_dev and added .set_platform_dma_ops for s390-iommu.  That's relevant here, because now that this patch enables dma-iommu for s390 and removes the platform DMA ops it must now remove .set_platform_dma_ops/s390_iommu_set_platform_dma for s390-iommu.
