Okay, let me know, I can possibly help make parts of this happen

power is the last still-current architecture to be outside the modern
IOMMU and DMA API design and I'm going to start proposing things that
will not be efficient on power because of this.

I think a basic iommu driver using the dma API would not be so hard.

I don't know what to do about the SPAPR VFIO mess though. :(
