Having a per-group domain is wasteful for IOMMUs that only support a modest
number of concurrent domains, so in reality I think we need to have one
domain per IOMMU instance. Is that possible?

One problem with the current per-bus approach is that __iommu_domain_alloc
can't figure out which IOMMU instance corresponds to the group.
