I looked at this for a while and I do still have the feeling that
probably two structs and even two type IDs is probably a cleaner
design.

Like this:

// Or maybe use obj.type ?
enum iommufd_hw_pagetable_type {
	IOMMUFD_HWPT_PAGING,
	IOMMUFD_HWPT_NESTED,
};

struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_common {
	struct iommufd_object obj;
	struct iommu_domain *domain;
	enum iommufd_hw_pagetable_type type;
};

struct iommufd_hw_pagetable {
	struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_common common;
	struct iommufd_ioas *ioas;
	bool auto_domain : 1;
	bool enforce_cache_coherency : 1;
	bool msi_cookie : 1;
	/* Head at iommufd_ioas::hwpt_list */
	struct list_head hwpt_item;
};

struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_nested {
	struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_common common;
	// ??
};

I poked at it in an editor for a bit and it was looking OK but
requires breaking up a bunch of functions then I ran out of time

Also, we probably should feed enforce_cache_coherency through the
alloc_hwpt uapi and not try to autodetect it..
