The idea is that the IOMMU core code will allocate a default domain for
each iommu-group at initialization time. This domain can be requested
later by a new iommu-api function and used for DMA-API mappings.
A device still can be assigned to another domain by driver code (like
VFIO). But if the device is later de-assigned the IOMMU core-code
automatically puts it back into the default domain.
