So that would be an assignment to DOMAIN_IDENTITY

In this case the iommu driver is so limited that it will not work with
VFIO - it is only ment to be used with the fixed drivers that are
paired with it.

Ideally we'd prevent VFIO from connecting and only allow drivers that
know the limitations of the IOMMU to use the unmanaged domain.
