Hi all,

Both IOMMU_DOMAIN_UNMANAGED and IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA require the support
of __IOMMU_DOMAIN_PAGING capability, i.e. iommu_map/unmap. However,
some older iommu drivers do not fully support that, and these drivers
also do not advertise support for dma-iommu.c via IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA,
or use arm_iommu_create_mapping(), so largely their implementations
of IOMMU_DOMAIN_UNMANAGED are untested. This means that a user like
vfio/iommufd does not likely work with them.

Thus, mark all these drivers as having "broken" UNAMANGED domains and
add a new device_iommu_unmanaged_supported() API for vfio/iommufd and
dma-iommu to refuse to work with these drivers.

These are preparatory changes for a new IOMMU API that will be used by
iommufd. Having this flag allows us to prevent any use of the new API
in iommufd, to keep things clean.

Thank you

Why not making an explicit way to mark which drivers are tested to
support vfio/iommufd? Not sure whether pure code review is reliable
to filter out 'broken' vs. 'non-broken'...
