I'm not sure whether this is *not* a fix... if a specific platform wasn't
affected, this may still be a logic mistake... to be cautious, I would
still add a Fixes tag to this one.

Otherwise, I would reword the commit title and remove the "Fix" word, so
that it would look something like...

iommu/mediatek: Prepare for pagetables domain sharing

I'm sorry for noticing that only at v9, but the previous versions had a bit
more stuff to address and couldn't really focus on analyzing this one.

If there's anything I've misunderstood about this patch, please feel free
to explain.

Angelo
