Are there any useful configurations with IOMMU_API but
not IOMMU_SUPPORT though? My first approach was actually

--- a/drivers/vfio/pci/mlx5/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/vfio/pci/mlx5/Kconfig
@@ -1,6 +1,7 @@
 # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
 config MLX5_VFIO_PCI
        tristate "VFIO support for MLX5 PCI devices"
+       depends on IOMMU_SUPPORT
        depends on MLX5_CORE
        select VFIO_PCI_CORE
        select IOMMUFD_DRIVER

before I saw the other construct in the iommu drivers. Maybe that
is the best solution after all.
