Sigh.

Instead of yet another set of global flags thrown around the
kernel please properly factor out this code, its data structures
and methods: introduce a single descriptor structure that
describes this piece of hardware, with debugging flags part of
this structure - with operations function pointer structure and
such.

This code came from the "we have a single, known type of system
global IOMMU" world - and we now want to transform this into
something that is properly abstracted out and made flexible, as
we extend its capabilities .

Thanks,

Ingo
