fwiw, there was a patch upstream to mark MSM_IOMMU as depends on
BROKEN.. not sure if that would be sufficient

(either way, I don't really mind, the current upstream msm-iommu is not
actually used by any driver, at least not until I get time to rename
qcom-iommu and rework it to fit the one-true-iommu-bindings..)
