Well, you could make sure that there are no more groups behind one IOMMU
than the number of concurent domains it can handle. But that would be
too static. But once we have an per-iommu-descriptor in the IOMMU core I
see no reason to allocate a default domain per iommu only, based on a
policy exported by the driver.
