I think it's describing the RMR solution that was decided in
Eric's VFIO solution prior to we having IOMMUFD at all.

So long as Robin won't mind (hopefully), I can rephrase it:

Currently, iommu-dma is the only place outside of IOMMUFD and drivers
which might need to be aware of the stage 2 domain encapsulated within
a nested domain. This would be still the RMR solution where we're using
host-managed MSIs with an identity mapping at stage 1, where it is
the underlying stage 2 domain which owns an MSI cookie and holds the
corresponding dynamic mappings. Hook up the new op to resolve what we
need from a nested domain.

I think we can do either way, given that the use case is very
particular for IOMMU_DOMAIN_NESTED. Otherwise, driver doesn't
need to be aware of the msi mapping domain at all that should
be just taken care of by dma-iommu. If the domain pointer had
a generic parent iommu pointer, the get_msi_mapping_domain op
could have been omitted too.

That being said, yea, likely we should check !!domain->ops at
least.
