This feels a bit fragile to me:
  * IOMMU-API users of io-pgtable shouldn't be passing this quirk
    but might end up doing so to paper over driver bugs.

  * Low-level users of io-pgtable who expose page-table operations to
    userspace need to pass the quirk, but might well not bother because
    well-behaved userspace doesn't trigger the warning.

So overall, it's all a bit unsatisfactory. Is there a way we could have
the warnings only when invoked via the IOMMU API?
