The two conditions can go into one if statement to make this a little
more clear.

And I'd really like to understand the unlikely - amd_iommu_np_cache
is set based on a hardware capability, so it seems rather odd to mark
it unlikely.  Dynamic branch prediction really should do the right thing
here usually.

Ah, yeah of course

Here is the commit which added it without any explanation:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/270cab2426cdc6307725e4f1f46ecf8ab8e69193

should we remove it seen as there's no explanation given ?

I'd be tempted to do that.  But lets just ask Joerg if he has
any opinion..

The reason was that it is an unlikely path, as hardware implementations
are not allowed to set this bit. It is purely for emulated AMD IOMMUs.
I have not measured whether this annotation has any performance
benefit, but I find it more readable at least.
