What's the exact use case behind allowing several custom IOASID
allocators to be registered?

The fact the first registered custom allocator gets automatically active
was not obvious to me and may deserve a comment.

At this stage it is difficult to assess whether using a BUG_ON() is safe
here. Who is responsible for freeing the IOASIDs?

shouldn't default_allocator_used be protected as well?

wouldn't it be possible to integrate the default io asid allocator as
any custom allocator, ie. implement an alloc callback using xa_alloc.
Then the active io allocator could be either a custom or a default one.

you need to change the definition for the !CONFIG_IOASID case too

Just to make sure, don't you need to define the new functions if
!CONFIG_IOASID?
