I wouldn't have guessed; nothing in the documentation suggests these
ioctls are deprecated in v2 (ie. please document).  If the ioctl doesn't
exist for the IOMMU type, why not simply break and let it fall out at
-ENOTTY?  Same for the above, v1 would have previously returned -ENOTTY
for those ioctls, why change to -EPERM?
