Kevin asked this, we can't assume that a single SVA domain is going to
work in a multi-iommu-driver system, which we are trying to enable at
the core level..

Huh?

You are supposed to put the struct mmu_notifier inside the sva_domain
struct and use container_of().

This is another reason why I'd prefer we de-duplicate SVA domains at
the core code level as duplicitive notifiers are expensive..

Please don't add stuff to the mm just for this reason.
