It broadly seems OK to me

Though I did notice this:

So we store the iommu in the domain? And use the iommu->lock all over
the place

But here we don't check that the domain matches the iommu of dev.

This seems a bit weird to me, I didn't quite get why the domain uses
iommu->lock instead of just having its own per-domain lock?

But if it does use iommu->lock then this does need to prevent using
domains with the wrong iommu because the also use the wrong lock and
then this:

Is not safe?
