I think this "enable" patch is doing a bit too much.

All the iommufd-related changes can be added separately

I would do a cleanup:
 - arm-smmu-v3: Factor force_sync
 - arm-smmu-v3: Add arm_smmu_erratum_repeat_tlbi_cfgi_key and WAR
 - arm-smmu-v3-iommufd: Add IOMMU_HW_INFO_ARM_SMMUV3_ERRATA_REPEAT_TLBI_CFGI
 - arm-smmu-v3: Set arm_smmu_erratum_repeat_tlbi_cfgi_key

You can follow the kdoc style as enum iommufd_option.
