[PATCH 00/20] iommu: Refactoring domain allocation interface

The IOMMU subsystem has undergone some changes, including the removal
of iommu_ops from the bus structure. Consequently, the existing domain
allocation interface, which relies on a bus type argument, is no longer
relevant:

    struct iommu_domain *iommu_domain_alloc(struct bus_type *bus)

This series is designed to refactor the use of this interface. It
proposes two new interfaces to replace iommu_domain_alloc():

- iommu_user_domain_alloc(): This interface is intended for allocating
  iommu domains managed by userspace for device passthrough scenarios,
  such as those used by iommufd, vfio, and vdpa. It clearly indicates
  that the domain is for user-managed device DMA.

  If an IOMMU driver does not implement iommu_ops->domain_alloc_user,
  this interface will rollback to the generic paging domain allocation.

- iommu_paging_domain_alloc(): This interface is for allocating iommu
  domains managed by kernel drivers for kernel DMA purposes. It takes a
  device pointer as a parameter, which better reflects the current
  design of the IOMMU subsystem.

The majority of device drivers currently using iommu_domain_alloc() do
so to allocate a domain for a specific device and then attach that
domain to the device. These cases can be straightforwardly migrated to
the new interfaces.

However, there are some drivers with more complex use cases that do
not fit neatly into this new scheme. For example:

$ git grep "= iommu_domain_alloc"
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:      mapping->domain = iommu_domain_alloc(bus);
drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_drv.c:    private->domain = iommu_domain_alloc(private->iommu_dev->bus);
drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/drm.c:            tegra->domain = iommu_domain_alloc(&platform_bus_type);
drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_uiom.c:       pd->domain = domain = iommu_domain_alloc(dev->bus);

This series leave those cases unchanged and keep iommu_domain_alloc()
for their usage. But new drivers should not use it anymore.

The whole series is also available on GitHub:
