[RFC PATCH v1 1/6] driver core: Add option for disabling of backing devices DMA with IOMMU

[Dmitry Osipenko]

This allows device drivers to convey the drivers core that implicit IOMMU
backing for devices DMA shouldn't happen. It is needed for drivers that
manage IOMMU by themselves, like for example it is needed by the NVIDIA
Tegra GPU driver.
