Yeah, I havn't looked at how to convert the ARM-SMMU drivers to default
domains yet, so the issue you describe above is totally possible.
But there is no way to trigger it yet, because your domain_alloc
function can not yet allocate IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA domains. While converting
the issue must be fixed, of course.
I tested this patch-set on an AMD Seattle system and it worked fine
there.
