If you need weird HW specific stuff like this then please implement it
properly in iommufd, not try and randomly guess what things need from
the domain type.

All this confidential computing stuff needs a comprehensive solution,
not some piecemeal mess. How can you even use a CC guest with VFIO in
the upstream kernel? Hmm?
