I see. The version below is much cleaner. Yet, it'd become having a
common pointer per iommu_domain vs. one pointer per driver. Jason
pointed it out to me earlier that by doing so memory waste would be
unnecessary on platforms that have considerable numbers of masters.

Since we know that it'd be safe to exclude this single change from
this series, I can drop it in next version, if you don't like the
change.

Thanks!
