Ok my bad amd actualy is using IOMMU_INIT_FINISH() so it finish before
trying other. Which make sense for AMD as AMD driver will call the gart
init gart_iommu_init() if it fails to initialize. If we ever end up with
a platform with multiple IOMMU beside AMD then we need to switch to the
IOMMU_INIT() instead of the finish one.
