 "If @user_data is valid and @parent points to a kernel-managed domain,
 then the returned domain must be the IOMMU_DOMAIN_NESTED type. Otherwise
 the returned domain is IOMMU_DOMAIN_UNMANAGED."

Notice the detail that this API expects the driver to set the type and
fully initialize the domain, including the generic iommu_domain
struct, which is different than alloc_domain.

When we implement this in drivers we should tidy this so all the alloc
flows fully initialize the domain internally.
