Hmm, why is this at drivers/base/? Anyone except for kvm could use
this? If so, under virt/ is more appropriate?

The majority of the names (include/linux/iommu.h, iommu.c, iommu_ops,
etc) looks too generic? We already have lots of similar things
(e.g. arch/{x86,ia64}/asm/iommu.h, several archs' iommu.c, etc). Such
names are expected to be used by all the IOMMUs.
