Conversely, that's going to be noisy if iommu_def_domain_type was
IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA to begin with. I think it makes sense to warn if the
user asked for a specific default domain type on the command line and
that didn't work, but maybe not to bother otherwise. Plus, if they asked
for passthrough, then not allocating a default domain at all is probably
closer to the desired result than installing a DMA ops domain would be.
