I don't understand why extra domain-ops are needed for this. I think it
would be more straight-forward to implement allocation of
IOMMU_DOMAIN_BLOCKED domains in each driver and let the details be
handled in the set_dev() call-back. The IOMMU driver can make sure DMA
is blocked for a device when it encounters a IOMMU_DOMAIN_BLOCKED
domain.

For IOMMUs that have no explicit way to block DMA could just use an
unmanaged domain with an empty page-table.

Yes, this is what will go.
