Maybe I am wrong, yet I recall that doing ops->domain_alloc_user
without a fallback was intentional to rule out drivers that don't
support IOMMUFD?

To be backward-compatible and concern about SMMU, we can opt in
ops->domain_alloc_user upon availability and then add a fallback:

if ((!ops || !ops->domain_alloc_user) && user_data) {
rc = -EOPNOTSUPP;
goto out_abort;
}

if (ops->domain_alloc_user)
hwpt->domain = ops->domain_alloc_user(dev, NULL, NULL);
else
hwpt->domain = iommu_domain_alloc(dev->bus);
if (!hwpt->domain) {
rc = -ENOMEM;
goto out_abort;
}

Yet, even by doing so, this series having the PATCH 07/17 that
moves iopt_table_add_domain() would temporally break IOMMUFD on
ARM platforms, until we add the ops->domain_alloc_user to SMMU
drivers.
