Patch looks fine to me, but I think it would also be sufficient to
change the check at the beginning of the function to test "if (!pcms ||
!pcms->bus)" instead of just "if (!pcms)" ... the error message
"Machine-type 'xxx' not supported by amd-iommu" is also adequate if
there is no PCI bus available on the system.
