The issue (speaking in terms of the ARM SMMU, since that's what I'm familiar
with) is that we don't know the page sizes until we've chosen our
translation regime.

For example, we may have an SMMU that supports the following page sizes

  1:  4k | 2M | 1G
  2: 16k | 32M
  3: 64k | 512M

so a domain on the SMMU can use one of those three regimes. Other domains
*on the same SMMU* may use a different regime. That means we've actually
got three minimum page sizes for the SMMU.

Therefore, the page size we end up using for a domain depends on both:

  (a) Whether or not we've probed another SMMU (using the same driver) that
      goes and further restricts iommu_ops->min_pgsize (or whatever it ends
      up being called)

  (b) Which one of the available regimes is chosen by the page-table code.

Currently (b) tries to get something close to the CPU page size, but you
could imagine adding an interface to bias the selection towards some other
size. We could pick the largest minimum page size of the supported regimes
(I can't word this better... it would be 64k in the example above), but I
worry that this will end up being too big in practice and we'll over-map
for most small mappings.

If we put the min_pgsize in the domain, we can just describe it using the
regime that domain is using.

Ok, so I think that solves (a) above, but means we have to keep track of
the min_pgsize in the domain anyway so that we can check against it, in
which case it may just as well be removed from iommu_ops.
