This maze needs to be undone as well.

It makes no sense that all the drivers are calling 

 iommu_register_device_fault_handler(dev, iommu_queue_iopf, dev);

The driver should RX a PRI fault and deliver it to some core code
function, this looks like a good start:

Then we find the domain that owns the translation and invoke its
domain->ops->iopf_handler()

If the driver created a SVA domain then the op should point to some
generic 'handle sva fault' function. There shouldn't be weird SVA
stuff in the core code.

The weird SVA stuff is really just a generic per-device workqueue
dispatcher, so if we think that is valuable then it should be
integrated into the iommu_domain (domain->ops->use_iopf_workqueue true for
instance). Then it could route the fault through the
workqueue and still invoke domain->ops->iopf_handler.

The word "SVA" should not appear in any of this.

Not sure what iommu_register_device_fault_handler() has to do with all
of this.. Setting up the dev_iommu stuff to allow for the workqueue
should happen dynamically during domain attach, ideally in the core
code before calling to the driver.

Also, I can understand there is a need to turn on PRI support really
early, and it can make sense to have some IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_IOPF/SVA to
ask to turn it on.. But that should really only be needed if the HW
cannot turn it on dynamically during domain attach of a PRI enabled
domain.

It needs cleaning up..
