As my my understanding, the essence of this problem is that only the
user owner of the iommu_group could attach an UNMANAGED domain to it.
If I understand it right, how about introducing a new interface to
allocate a user managed domain and storing the user file pointer in it.

When attaching a domain to an user-owned iommu_group, both group and
domain should have matched user fd.

Does above help here?
