We can create a generic stub that calls into respective firmware
handling paths (eg iort_dma_setup() in acpi_dma_configure()).

There are three arches booting with ACPI so stubbing it out in
specific firmware handlers is not such a big deal, less generic
sure, but not catastrophically bad.

Obviously this works for IOMMU masters links - for resources
dependencies (eg power domains) it deserves some thought, keeping in
mind that IOMMUs are static table entries in ACPI and not device objects
so they are not even capable of expressing eg power resources and
suchlike.

Long story short: adding IOMMU masters links in ACPI should be
reasonably simple, everything else requires further thought.
