Joerg Roedel 69e61edebe iommu: Define EINVAL as device/domain incompatibility
This series is to replace the previous EMEDIUMTYPE patch in a VFIO series:
 https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/Yxnt9uQTmbqul5lf@8bytes.org/
 
 The purpose is to regulate all existing ->attach_dev callback functions to
 use EINVAL exclusively for an incompatibility error between a device and a
 domain. This allows VFIO and IOMMUFD to detect such a soft error, and then
 try a different domain with the same device.
 
 Among all the patches, the first two are preparatory changes. And then one
 patch to update kdocs and another three patches for the enforcement
 effort.
