x86 probably does this because two different implementations needs to plug their private data there: intel-iommu plugs there a 'struct device_domain_info *' and amd_iommu uses it with a 'struct iommu_dev_data *'.
On ARM we'd eventually end up with even a bigger variety, and I guess that even if we'd use a type-safe member here, it would itself end up having 'void *'.
If it looks reasonable to you, can I please have your Ack ?
Russell, can you please take a look too and ack/nack ?
