This patch is restoring the state of the preserved IOMMU. The domain ids
are part of the iommu state and used in the context entries that are
being restored in this patch, that is why I kept these in one patch. I
will reword the subject of this patch and add a note on this in commit
message.

Yes, I think we can move the if outside.

Hmm... that is a good point. I think I will update the other places and
change it to restored_state/preserved_state to better reflect the
context.

Agreed.

I will remove these.

Good point. This should not fail as we are reserving these ids during
init. But I think I will add a WARN here.

I will remove this.
