This series allows the memory_region_register_iommu_notifier() to fail. As of now, when a MAP notifier is attempted to be registered along with SMMUv3, Intel iommu without caching mode or AMD IOMMU, we exit in the IOMMU MR notify_flag_changed() callback. In case of VFIO assigned device hotplug, this could be handled more nicely directly within the VFIO code, simply rejecting the hotplug without exiting. This is what the series achieves by handling the memory_region_register_iommu_notifier() returned value.
