While I'm not offended by this patch, I am offended by the

extern int intel_iommu_gfx_mapped;

introduced in the previous patches, I dislike having extern
declarations in a C file, a header file is the place for that sort of
thing.

Also have a look around some other places that do CONFIG_ stuff, I
think there may be examples of both in which case this approach is
fine, but I do remember there being a fair few,

#ifdef CONFIG_BLAH
function
#else
#define function do while(0)
#endif

Dave.
