Perhaps it is too late to call pci_find_bus() or 
pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() to get the

device instance from this notifier registered as BUS_NOTIFY_REMOVED_DEVICE

action. if the device is still there in bus list, *must* be a bug of 
device subsystem as

*removed* device.

but if we call iommu_release_device() in iommu_bus_notifier() for 
BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE

action, there should be opportuniy to get the device instance, but that 
change need

more evaluation about side effect.

furthermore, iommu never cross domain number per context table 
defination in VT-d

spec, not mean, domain number in a system never will be !0, per my 
understanding.

Ethan
