We can use a proper type here, just forward declare it.

But this sequence in the other patch:

+       ret = iommu_attach_group(hwpt->domain, idev->igroup->group);
+       if (ret) {
+               iommufd_fault_iopf_disable(idev);
+               return ret;
+       }
+
+       handle = iommu_attach_handle_get(idev->igroup->group, IOMMU_NO_PASID, 0);
+       handle->idev = idev;

Is why I was imagining the caller would allocate, because now we have
the issue that a fault capable domain was installed into the IOMMU
before it's handle could be fully setup, so we have a race where a
fault could come in right between those things. Then what happens?
I suppose we can retry the fault and by the time it comes back the
race should resolve. A bit ugly I suppose.

I think I'd call this a CMD_FAULT_QUEUE_ALLOC - does that make sense?
