It looks like this entire function is already never called for
anything but paging?

The only three callers are:

.default_domain_ops = &(const struct iommu_domain_ops) {
.attach_dev = intel_iommu_attach_device,
.set_dev_pasid = intel_iommu_set_dev_pasid,

and

static const struct iommu_domain_ops intel_nested_domain_ops = {
.attach_dev = intel_nested_attach_dev,

And none of those cases can be anything except a paging domain by
definition.
A nested domain is not a paging domain. It represents a user-space page
table that nested on a parent paging domain. Perhaps I overlooked
anything?
It only calls it on the s2_parent which is always a paging domain?

ret = prepare_domain_attach_device(&dmar_domain->s2_domain->domain, dev);

Yea, you are right. I overlooked that part. I'll remove the 'if'
statement and utilize a WARN_ON() function instead.

And also, I will rename this function with a meaningful name,some like
paging_domain_is_compatible()?

Thanks,
