?? All other drivers do this. The core contract is that this sequence:

   dom = iommu_domain_alloc()
   iommu_attach_device(dom, dev)
   iommu_map(dom,...)
   iommu_detach_device(dom, dev)

Will not continue to have the IOVA mapped to the device. We rely on
this for various error paths.

If the HW is multi-device then it is supposed to have groups.

Oh yuk, that is not an UNMANAGED domain either as we now assume empty
UNMANAGED domains are blocking in the core...

That looks like the same as this patch, just calling the detach dev
behavior IDENTITY. Can do..

Thanks,
