Hi Lorenzo,

I think this patch makes sense even independent of the rest of the 
series, one nit inline notwithstanding.

Marek; I'm curious as to whether this could make the workaround in 
722ec35f7 obsolete as well, or are all the drivers also bound 
super-early in the setup you had there?

Current bus notifier in ARM64 (__iommu_attach_notifier)
attempts to attach dma_ops to a device on BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE
action notification.

This causes issues on ACPI based systems, where PCI devices
can be added before the IOMMUs the devices are attached to
had a chance to be probed, causing failures on attempts to
attach dma_ops in that the domain for the respective IOMMU
may not be set-up yet by the time the bus notifier is run.

Devices dma_ops do not require to be set-up till the matching
device drivers are probed. This means that instead of running
the notifier attaching dma_ops to devices (__iommu_attach_notifier)
on BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE action, it can be run just before the
device driver is bound to the device in question (on action
BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER) so that it is certain that its IOMMU
group and domain are set-up accordingly at the time the
notifier is triggered.

This patch changes the notifier action upon which dma_ops
are attached to devices and defer it to driver binding time,
so that IOMMU devices have a chance to be probed and to register
their bus notifiers before the dma_ops attach sequence for a
device is actually carried out.

With this, you can also get rid of the priority setting and big fat 
explanatory comment in register_iommu_dma_ops_notifier().
