OK, other than SVA domain, the rest domain types share the same default ops.
I agree that the default ops should be the same for UNMANAGED, IDENTITY, and
DMA domain types. Minor detail is that we need to treat IDENTITY domain
slightly different when it comes down to PASID entry programming.

If not global, perhaps we could have a list of pasids (e.g. xarray) attached
to the device_domain_info. The TLB flush logic would just go through the
list w/o caring what the PASIDs are for. Does it make sense to you?

My mistake, i meant the device_domain_info.pasid is only used by DMA API

Got it, will put the pasids in an xa as described above.

Sounds good, this operation has little in common with
domain_ops.dev_attach_pasid() used by SVA domain. So I will add a new
domain_ops.dev_set_pasid()
