In which case must an iommu driver return IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA_FQ?

The flush queue is a policy of "when and how to synchronize the IOTLB"
in dma-iommu.c. The iommu driver actually has no need to understand such
policy.

By the way, "dma domain" in this comment is a bit confusing, it reads
better if we make it like:

- IOMMU_DOMAIN_IDENTITY: must use an identity domain
- IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA: must use a paging domain

Thanks,
