Indeed I do see appropriate looking calls to the normal DMA API, and
the other mapping path is conditionalized by !host->domain.

So, why didn't it work for Diogo? Even in identity mode the DMA API
will return correct DMA addresses and the !host->domain path will skip
mapping them.

Poking around I wonder if there is some assumption that if other parts
of the stack, maybe the DRM driver, are using the special domain than
everyone is? It seems to blindly pass around IOVA without really
checking who is consuming it.

Christian was telling me DMABUF had some drivers that made the
(incorrect!) assumption they were all sharing translation.

It does seem like a nice project for someone who has the hardware to
rip out all of this custom domain stuff and just have the iommu layer
setup a shared dma-iommu domain.
