The sysfs interface for default domain types exists primarily so users can choose the performance/security tradeoff relevant to their own workload. As such, the choice between the policies for DMA domains fits perfectly as an additional point on that scale - downgrading a particular device from a strict default to non-strict may be enough to let it reach the desired level of performance, while still retaining more peace of mind than with a wide-open identity domain. Now that we've abstracted non-strict mode as a distinct type of DMA domain, allow it to be chosen through the user interface as well.
