Indeed so - for one, I expect drivers to reject it for anything that
isn't their own default DMA ops domain type (as #5 and #6 do), and
furthermore it only has any effect once iommu_dma_init_domain() reads it
back if it stuck, and other domain types should never be getting passed
into there anyway.
