What I'm trying to prevent, on x86, is a situation where the iommu_enabled == 
false but iommu_hap_pt_share == true. I had, mistakenly, believed that 
iommu_enabled would never be false for ARM but it seems this is not the case so 
that situation has to be tolerated. I guess, given the other hunk of my patch, 
I can actually leave the ASSERT in place and avoid making the call from common 
code, in which case the function ought to move into an x86 header as well.
