Yes for virtio-iommu I'd like as little overhead as possible, which
means a single invalidation message to hit both IOTLB and ATC at once,
and the ability to specify multiple pages with @nb_granules.

Agreed. Even the core could filter out invalid combinations based on the
table above: IOTLB and domain granularity are N/A.
