What about passing the user pointer to the iommu driver which
then does the copy so we don't need an extra @data_len() 
callback for every driver?

this should fail if parent is specified.

for nesting why is ioas required? In concept we can just pass NULL ioas
to iommufd_hw_pagetable_alloc() for this hwpt. If within that function
there is a need to toggle ioas for the parent it can always retrieve it
from the parent hwpt.
