Indentation. And this should be disabled by default.
It's actually a question whether in our current scheme a Kconfig
option is appropriate here in the first place. I'd rather see this be
an always built feature which needs enabling on the command line
for the time being.
In the RFC V1, we made vIOMMU always built-in feature. But
ARM or other arches doesn't have vIOMMU support.
Julien suggested to introduce a new Kconfig and only built vIOMMU on
x86. Both two ways won't affect vIOMMU function.

Jan & Julien, we need to make a choice here
We should definitely not compiled in code that are not used for an
architecture. This would be dead code or potential bug if not disabled
correctly.
Cheers,
