I think its better to keep the old iommu_attach_domain() interface in
place and introduce a new function (like iommu_attach_domain_with_id()
or something) which has the additional parameter. Then you can rewrite
iommu_attach_domain():

	iommu_attach_domai(...)
	{
		return iommu_attach_domain_with_id(..., -1);
	}

This way you don't have to update all the callers of
iommu_attach_domain() and the interface is more readable.
