This isn't immediately apparent in this case, but I think that in the
future we may need to have this kind of explicit attachment to an IOMMU
for example once devices start to appear that have multiple master
interfaces (possibly on different IOMMUs). For easy cases like this
SDMMC driver we may be able to get away more easily by hooking this up
within the driver core for example. I'd have to look into how exactly
this would work, though.
