The problem is that we already have tons of IOMMU drivers in the tree
which don't provide these call-backs. So adding this API extension
without a fall-back that works for these drivers too would fragment the
functionality between different IOMMU drivers in an inacceptable way and
undermine the purpose of a generic API.
