Yeah, I think for that we have to give up on the promise that a domain
can be assigned to _any_ device. But this promise doesn't even hold true
now when there are several IOMMU of the same type but with different
feature sets in a system.

So I happily review patches enabling the Multi-IOMMU SOCs :)
