Yes. It must be.

The hwpt_alloc() function has a sanity to enforce that.

There is a paragraph just above that, for kernel-managed HWPT:

455  * A normal HWPT will be created with the mappings from the given IOAS.
456  * The @data_type for its allocation can be set to IOMMU_HWPT_TYPE_DEFAULT, or
457  * another type (being listed below) to specialize a kernel-managed HWPT.

Perhaps we could rephrase "normal HWPT" with "kernel-managed
HWPT", to make it more clear.
