I am wondering whether it would be better if we move iommu_debug_map()
to iommu-debug-pagealloc.c,

void iommu_debug_map(struct iommu_domain *domain,
		     phys_addr_t phys, size_t size)
{
	if (static_branch_likely(&iommu_debug_initialized))
		__iommu_debug_map(domain, phys, size);
}

(Does it make sense to use static_branch_likely() here? Normally, people
  who enable CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC would want to use this
  debugging feature. Or not?)

So that ...

... we could make this static?
