Sorry, I don't get 'this one' meaning, are you suggesting the copy for
loop should be take out of the iommu for loop? 

About the temporary copy of the old device-table, you can see in patch
7/13, if irq sanity check failed, it return -1. This return could happen
in the middle of copy. So I think we should do a whole successful copy,
or don't copy at all. It might not be good do half copy.
