Yes, I much prefer this to the original patch please. Drivers should
not be testing DMA_FQ at all.

I already wrote a series to convert DART to domain_alloc_paging() that
fixes this inadvertantly.

Robin's suggestion is good for a temporary -rc fix.

Removing the switch is slightly more robust:

if (domain->type & domain->type & __IOMMU_DOMAIN_PAGING) {
[..]
return 0
}

if (domain->type == IOMMU_DOMAIN_BLOCKED) {
..
}

return -EOPNOTSUPP;

But not so worthwhile since I deleted all this anyhow...

I'll send out the dart series, it can't go to -rc, so a patch is still needed.

Thanks,
Jason
