Hmm, we are already using drvdata on the gpu side, and it looks like
arm-smmu is also using it.  Could we get away with stashing an extra
'void *' in iommu_domain itself?

Or alternatively, if we had a is_arm_smmu_domain(domain), then we
could just directly call some exported private fxns with the domain
ptr (which could then verify that the domain is actually an
arm_smmu_domain, and then from there that the smmu is indeed
qcom,adreno-smmu, to keep things sane)
