I don't believe it makes any significant difference - as the commit 
message points out, this validation is only applied at the public 
interface boundaries of iommu_attach_group(), iommu_attach_device(), and 
iommu_attach_device_pasid(), which are only expected to be operating on 
explicitly-allocated unmanaged domains. For internal default domain 
attachment, the domain is initially derived from the device/group itself 
so we know it's appropriate by construction.

I guess this *would* now prevent some external caller reaching in and 
trying to attach something to some other group's identity default 
domain, but frankly it feels like making that fail would be no bad thing 
anyway.

Thanks,
Robin.
