Shoudn't:

	if (!is_secure_guest())
		set_pci_dma_ops(&dma_iommu_ops);

be enough here, given that NULL is the default?

Indeed, it is enough.

Also either way I think this conditional needs a comment explaining
why it is there.

Good point. I added the commit message as a comment in the code.
New version of this patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries/iommu: Don't use dma_iommu_ops on secure
 guests

Secure guest memory is inacessible to devices so regular DMA isn't
possible.

In that case set devices' dma_map_ops to NULL so that the generic
DMA code path will use SWIOTLB to bounce buffers for DMA.
