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.

So, overall I'm fine with the code in this patch (and this series) at this point; however I'd like to do one more pass of testing rebased on top of iommu-next / with the set_platform_dma collision handled, so I'm going to hold off on tagging my review of this one until v7.  That really only impacts this patch so if you want to give others a chance to review the rest of the series before rolling out v7 that's OK by me.  

Thanks,
Matt
