This patch adds a new flags for device drivers. This flag instructs kernel that the device driver does it own management of IOMMU assisted IO address space translations, so no default dma-mapping structures should be initialized.

Could you comment if the approach of using flags in the struct driver could be accepted? I've converted suppress_bind_attrs entry to flags to avoid extending the structure, please see patch "[PATCH 05/29] drivers: convert suppress_bind_attrs parameter into flags".
