I think some introduction/background to L1VH would help.

It may be clearer to state that the hypervisor supports Linux IOMMU
paging domains through map/unmap hypercalls, mapping GPAs to HPAs using
stage‑2 I/O page tables.

This may warrant introducing a new IOMMU domain feature flag, as it
performs mappings but does not support map/unmap semantics in the same
way as a paging domain.
