That function should be called in iommu core-code, in case we want to
export some generic information from there.

Each driver then calls a separate function like

	dentry = iommu_debugfs_driver_dir("amd_iommu");

to create a driver-specific directory.

This warning needs to be a lot bigger. See the trace_printk() warning
for an example of what I have in mind.
