Okay, so domain_remove_dev_info() does:

                if (domain_type_is_vm(domain)) {
                        iommu_detach_dependent_devices(info->iommu, info->dev);
                        domain_detach_iommu(domain, info->iommu);
                }

... in a loop over all devices attached to the domain. The first
function (iommu_detach_dependent_devices) is not special to vm-domains.
In fact, domain_remove_one_dev_info calls it for all domain types.

And domain_detach_iommu only clears the bit in the iommu_bmp of the
domain, which is also not special and also called for all domain types
in domain_remove_one_dev_info.

So it looks like this special handling has no real purpose and is just
part of the whole mess. I am currently working on the conversion of the
Intel VT-d driver to use default-domains from the iommu-core. When this
is done we can get rid of that mess.
