I think we moved away from that to the idea of using the dma_domain
patch I suggested..

Drop patch 7 and 8

Change patch 12 so it has a unique flow to allocate and IOAS map a
HWPT that does not try to share so much code with the existing flow.

The HWPT flow should always just call allocate and then map with no
effort to attach first. This will fail on ARM SMMU at this point, and
that is fine.

All the existing code should work exactly as it is now and not have
any need to be changed.

Where things when wrong was trying to share
"__iommufd_hw_pagetable_alloc", I think.

Don't try to consolidate at this point. Once all the drivers are
updated then we could try to consolidate things.
