Sorry, NAK.

Please don't add this kind of complexity and business logic to low level 
code. We want the configuration functions to be simple, easy to read, 
maintain and extend.

The proper way to do it is to let the IOMMUs be grouped together on 
IOMMU subsystem level, so that each IOMMU consumer driver would see just 
one IOMMU, but then IOMMU driver callbacks would handle just particular 
instances of the IOMMU IP blocks, without any loops, lists and other 
crazy code...

Best regards,
Tomasz
