Yes you're right: this was true in the first releases of the series where the iommu mapping/unmapping were done at composition & erase time. Now the mapping/unmapping is done on msi_domain_alloc/free_irqs, this is not mandated anymore. I will keep the wrapper for the compose side and remove the rest + update the commit message accordingly. Thank you for your time.
