True. But then again I think the old one was broken as well, as it
will pass the wrong dev to identity_mapping() or
iommu_request_dma_domain_for_dev. So I guess I'll need to respin it
a bit to do the work in iommu_need_mapping again, and then factor
that one to make it obvious what device we deal with.
