The user_data is not used in allocating a paging user domain, so I
skipped it.

Yes. Agreed.

No.

In my first try, I simply replaced iommu_domain_alloc() with a new
paging domain allocation interface. On second thought, it occurred to me
why not use separate interfaces for different purposes? Even though from
an iommu perspective, they both use paging domains.

The @flags and @user_data are defined in uapi/linux/iommufd.h, which is
specific to iommufd. Wrapping them in a common interface for broader use
seems awkward.

So, perhaps we could return to my original idea? Let's just expose one
interface, iommu_paging_domain_alloc(), and replace iommu_domain_alloc()
with it everywhere?
