Agreed. The iommu_register_device_fault_handler() could only be called
by the device drivers who want to handle the DMA faults and IO page
faults by themselves in any special ways.

By default, the faults should be dispatched to domain->iopf_handler in a
generic core code.

Yes. We should make it generic. The domain->use_iopf_workqueue flag
denotes that the page faults of a fault group should be put together and
then be handled and responded in a workqueue. Otherwise, the page fault
is dispatched to domain->iopf_handler directly.

There are two pointers under struct dev_iommu for fault handling.

/**
  * struct dev_iommu - Collection of per-device IOMMU data
  *
  * @fault_param: IOMMU detected device fault reporting data
  * @iopf_param:  I/O Page Fault queue and data

[...]

struct dev_iommu {
         struct mutex lock;
         struct iommu_fault_param        *fault_param;
         struct iopf_device_param        *iopf_param;

My understanding is that @fault_param is a place holder for generic
things, while @iopf_param is workqueue specific. Perhaps we could make
@fault_param static and initialize it during iommu device_probe, as
IOMMU fault is generic on every device managed by an IOMMU.

@iopf_param could be allocated on demand. (perhaps renaming it to a more
meaningful one?) It happens before a domain with use_iopf_workqueue flag
set attaches to a device. iopf_param keeps alive until device_release.

Yes. I can put this and other cleanup things that we've discussed in a
preparation series and send it out for review after the next rc1 is
released.
