Like I say, the cleanup is great. I'm just wondering whether there's a
better way to express the complicated logic to decide whether or not to use
the flush queue than what we end up with:

	if (!cookie->fq_domain && (!dev || !dev_is_untrusted(dev)) &&
	    domain->ops->flush_iotlb_all && !iommu_get_dma_strict())

which is mixing up globals, device properties and domain properties. The
result is that the driver code ends up just using the global to determine
whether or not to pass IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_NON_STRICT to the page-table code,
which is a departure from the current way of doing things.

Ah, sorry, I didn't spot that! I was just trying to illustrate that this
is per-device.
