Yes, I think that is true, certainly no-intree user of this stuff
wants to do that.

It is enforced to be true after Tina's series:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230905000930.24515-1-tina.zhang@intel.com

Which makes one SVA domain per mm.

Indeed, this is where we are trying to get to. This de-duplication
code in every driver is quite horrible.

Ultimately the notifier should be per-iommu_domain as well.
