Merge it with the previous path

The memory is kzallocated, I don't think this is needed

I expect this to accept some kind of luo pointer to signal what stream
the domain is part of.

Domains are linked to iommufd's which are linked to luo sessions. This
all needs to be carefully conveyed down to all the lower levels.

I also expect preserve to return some kind of handle that the caller
can hide away to deserialize.

And if we have a caller handle then there is probably no reason to
have this state tracking atomic.
