The virtual address of the base of the IOMMU's regsters is not useful for
diagnostic purposes, and is quite voluminous.  The PCI coordinates is by far
the most useful piece of identifying information.

Surrounding printk()s also identify the IOMMU by Xen's internal ID, but that
is also pretty useless information when diagnosing problems.

RFC for-4.13.  This is a nice to have stylistic improvement.

I don't think the register is useful for debugging, at least I have
never used it myself, so:

Thanks, Roger.

Seeing that there hasn't been an ack from Kevin, perhaps this
rather simple change can go in without? Just in case
