Yes, but this code is still used

Not quite..

	if (req_type)
		return __iommu_group_alloc_default_domain(group, req_type);

req_type == 0 can still happen because it depends on what
def_domain_type returns, which is still 0 in alot of cases

	/* The driver gave no guidance on what type to use, try the default */
	dom = __iommu_group_alloc_default_domain(group, iommu_def_domain_type);
	if (dom)
		return dom;

So we try the default which might be IDENTITY/DMA/DMA_FQ - still have
to do this.

	/* Otherwise IDENTITY and DMA_FQ defaults will try DMA */
	if (iommu_def_domain_type == IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA)
		return NULL;
	dom = __iommu_group_alloc_default_domain(group, IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA);
	if (!dom)
		return NULL;

	pr_warn("Failed to allocate default IOMMU domain of type %u for group %s - Falling back to IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA",
		iommu_def_domain_type, group->name);

And this hunk is primarily a fallback in case the DMA_FQ didn't
work. Then we try normal DMA.

That it also protected against not implementing IDENTITY is a side
effect, so I think we have to keep all of this still.
