Add an IOMMU device registry for drivers to register with and implement
a method for users of the IOMMU API to attach to an IOMMU device. This

hook to perform early initialization of a device if necessary.
Can you elaborate on why exactly you need this? The IOMMU-API is
designed to hide any details from the user about the available IOMMUs in
the system and which IOMMU handles which device. This looks like it is
going in a completly different direction from that.
