Given that allowing "msi-parent" for #msi-cells > 1 is merely a 
backward-compatibility bodge full of hard-coded assumptions, why would 
we want to knowingly introduce a similarly unpleasant equivalent for 
IOMMUs? What's wrong with "iommu-map"?

IOW, precisely the case for which "{msi,iommu}-map" exist. Yes, I know 
they're currently documented under bindings/pci, but they're not really 
intended to be absolutely PCI-specific.
