Could attach_dev() be an IOMMU op?  So a driver could set the domain ops
in attach_dev() rather than domain_alloc(). That would allow to install
map()/unmap() ops that are tailored for the device's IOMMU, which we don't
know at domain_alloc() time. I'm thinking about a guest that has both
physical and virtual endpoints, which would ideally use different kinds of
domain ops to support both efficiently (caching mode vs page tables)

Thanks,
