What I probably will do, though, since we have the functionality in
place for the sake of the old binding, and I think there are other folks
who want PCI iommu-map support but would prefer not to bother with DMA
ops on the host, is add a command-line option to disable DMA domains
even for the generic bindings.

Yes this would be a good thing I think. This series has an important
impact on platforms which do not have smmu v3, where contexts are scarce
HW resources.

Rather than disabling DMA domains entirely, we could specify a number
of contexts to reserve for other use (e.g. VFIO). It's a pity that these
options are global for the system, as opposed to per SMMU instance,
but I can't see a good way around that.
