MSI pages must always be mapped into a device's *current* domain, which

streamlining of __iommu_dma_map(), but rather than reintroduce more
complexity and/or special-casing, it turns out neater to just split this
path out entirely.

Since iommu_dma_get_msi_page() already duplicates much of what
__iommu_dma_map() does, it can easily just make the allocation and
mapping calls directly as well. That way we can further streamline the
helper back to exclusively operating on DMA domains.

Hmm.  I remember proposing this patch and you didn't like it because
we could also have msis for a !IOMMU_DMA_IOVA_COOKIE cookie type.
Or did we talk past each other?

Note that if this change turns out to be valid we should also
clean up the iommu_dma_free_iova() side.
