Pleae avoid all these overly long lines.

Why do we need these stubs? All potential callers should already
require CONFIG_IOMMU_API? Same for the helpers added in patch 1, btw.

Unless I'm missing something (just skipping over the patches),
the existing callers also take the lock just around these calls,
so we don't really need the __-prefixed lowlevel helpers.

No need for a lock to read a single scalar.
