I don't love the idea of passing in flags to control the logic,
especially since not every combination of flags is valid. And also tests
would be required to pass in dev_id even if it's not needed (first
possibility in your list).

Maybe add explicit helpers for each case?

/*** static (private) helpers ***/

static u32 iommufd_hwpt_alloc(struct iommu *iommu, u32 dev_id)
{
        struct iommu_hwpt_alloc args = {
                .size = sizeof(args),
                .pt_id = iommu->ioas_id,
                .dev_id = dev_id,
        };

        VFIO_ASSERT_EQ(iommu->hwpt_id, 0);
        ioctl_assert(iommu->iommufd, IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC, &args);

        iommu->hwpt_id = args.out_hwpt_id;
}

static struct iommu *iommufd_new(int iommufd, u32 ioas_id)
{
        struct iommu *new;

        new = iommu_alloc("iommufd");

        new->iommufd = dup(iommufd);
        VFIO_ASSERT_GT(new->iommufd, 0);

        new->ioas_id = ioas_id;

        return new;
}

/*** Public API for tests ***/

        return iommufd_new(cur->iommufd, iommufd_ioas_alloc(cur->iommufd));
}

        struct iommu *new = iommufd_new(cur->iommufd, cur->ioas_id);

        iommufd_hwpt_alloc(new, dev_id);
        return new;
