This patch doesn't look good to me although I agree that keeping data is
acceptable. It updates dev->archdata.iommu, but leaves the hardware
context/pasid table unchanged. This might cause problems somewhere.

Can you please tell me how to reproduce the problem? Keeping the per
device domain info while device is unplugged is a bit dangerous because
info->dev might be a wild pointer. We need to work out a clean fix.
