That looks better for me :)
However, I think the irq handler need to identify if the return value
is an error
returned by a fault handler or a notice that no fault handler is installed.
I am sorry but I still think that
installing default fault handler is quite simple and straightforward.
Providing generic default behavior for all architectures is also good
if it is available for other architectures.
My intention with the default behavior for unrecoverable fault from IOMMU is
to show what the problem is, where the problem caused and
thus, providing a hint to solve or catch the problem
for the device drivers and the developers.
