I think this VFIO code also needs some more work, it currently assumes
that if the domain ops are the same then the domains are compatible,
and that is not true for ARM SMMU drivers.

I've been thinking of adding a domain callback 'can device attach' and
replacing the ops compare with that instead.

In the long run I think it will be worth optimizing. If the SMMU
instances can share IOPTE memory then we get two wins - memory
reduction and reduced work to read dirty bits.

The dirty read in particular is very performance sensitive so if real
work loads have many SMMUs per VM it will become a pain point.
