Summary

Virtio operates with physical addresses, while busdma is designed to
map these to produce bus addresses. On most supported platforms,
these two are interchangeable; on powerpc platforms, they are not.

When on powerpc, set an IOMMU of NULL, which causes the powerpc busdma
code to bypass the iommu mapping; this leaves us with the physical
buffer addresses which the virtio host expects to see.

Fixes: 782105f7c898 ("vtblk: Use busdma")
