iommu: Introduce a new iommu_group_replace_domain() API
qemu has a need to replace the translations associated with a domain
when the guest does large-scale operations like switching between an
IDENTITY domain and, say, dma-iommu.c.
Currently, it does this by replacing all the mappings in a single
domain, but this is very inefficient and means that domains have to be
per-device rather than per-translation.
Provide a high-level API to allow replacements of one domain with
another. This is similar to a detach/attach cycle except it doesn't
force the group to go to the blocking domain in-between.
By removing this forced blocking domain the iommu driver has the
opportunity to implement a non-disruptive replacement of the domain to the
greatest extent its hardware allows. This allows the qemu emulation of the
vIOMMU to be more complete, as real hardware often has a non-distruptive
replacement capability.
It could be possible to address this by simply removing the protection
from the iommu_attach_group(), but it is not so clear if that is safe for
the few users. Thus, add a new API to serve this new purpose.
All drivers are already required to support changing between active
UNMANAGED domains when using their attach_dev ops.
This API is expected to be used only by IOMMUFD, so add to the iommu-priv
header and mark it as IOMMUFD_INTERNAL.
