Hi Greg and Konrad,

This change is intended to be non-arch specific. Any arch that lacks DMA access
control and has devices not behind an IOMMU can make use of it. Could you share
why you think this should be arch specific?
The idea behind non-arch specific code is it to be generic. The devicetree
is specific to PowerPC, Sparc, and ARM, and not to x86 - hence it should
be in arch specific code.
Thanks!
