Oh, making it only work for on domain type seems kind of hacky..

If that is the intention maybe the owner set should be moved into
iommu_domain_alloc() with a little comment noting that it is limited
to work in only a few cases?

I certainly didn't understand from the commit message to mean it was
only actually working for one domain type and this also blocks using
other types with the public interface.

We have nesting now in the iommufd branch, and SVA will come soon for
these APIs.

Regardless this will clash with the iommufd branch for this reason so
I guess it needs to wait till rc1.
