Thank you very much for reviewing my patches.

Yes. I will move both into io-pgfault.c. After that, iommu_queue_iopf()
becomes static.

Yeah, perhaps we can rename it to iommu_handle_iopf().

/**
  * iommu_handle_iopf - IO Page Fault handler
  * @fault: fault event
  * @dev: struct device.

Agreed. I will move it to iommu-sva.c.

The work queue wrapper is duplicate. I will remove it and let the driver
to call queue_work() directly.

Yes. I will add domain in fault group and make it part of the parameters
of the callback.
