I think in reality once iommu's arrive it will be a bit more subtle than
their presence or absence, e.g. something (perhaps the platform code)
will need to decide if all the write devices are behind an iommu such
that the 11 can be disabled.

I can unstatic opt_dom0_11_mapping and stick it in a header though. Or
provide an accessor method.
