What happens if somebody calls map or unmap on an identity-mapping domain?
Can we catch that in the IOMMU core before calling the IOMMU driver? That
also implies we need something extra to parameterise the attributes for
the mapping (e.g. cacheable, read-only) and also potentially the address
range.

We already have the domain attributes (iommu_attr) to describe features
of a domain. Is there really a need for this extra type, or can we extend
the attribute set and allow for domain allocation with attributes?
