This makes more sense to me

Ultimately this driver should reach a point where every iommu_domain
always has a non-null domain->viommu because it will be set during
alloc.

But it can still have nr_endpoints == 0, doesn't it make sense to
avoid sync in this case?

(btw this driver is missing locking around vdomain->nr_endpoints)

Where? The above points to iommu_create_device_direct_mappings() but
it doesn't because the pgsize_bitmap == 0:

static int iommu_create_device_direct_mappings(struct iommu_domain *domain,
					       struct device *dev)
{
	struct iommu_resv_region *entry;
	struct list_head mappings;
	unsigned long pg_size;
	int ret = 0;

	pg_size = domain->pgsize_bitmap ? 1UL << __ffs(domain->pgsize_bitmap) : 0;
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&mappings);

	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(iommu_is_dma_domain(domain) && !pg_size))

Indeed, the driver should be failing all map's until the domain is
finalized because it has no way to check the IOVA matches the eventual
aperture.
