The domain->ops validation was added, as a precaution, for mixed-driver
systems. However, at this moment only one iommu driver is possible. So
remove it.

Per discussion with Robin, in future when many can be permitted we will
rely on the IOMMU core code to check the domain->ops:

It's true on a physical platform. But I'm not sure whether a virtual platform
is allowed to include multiple e.g. one virtio-iommu alongside a virtual VT-d
or a virtual smmu. It might be clearer to claim that (as Robin pointed out)
there is plenty more significant problems than this to solve instead of simply
saying that only one iommu driver is possible if we don't have explicit code
to reject such configuration.

IDK it seems wrong that the system today will allow different buses to
have different IOMMU drivers and not provide a trivial protection
check.

If you want to put the check in your series that seems fine too, as
long as we get it in the end.

Yes, the vfio check is not good anymore.
