Most of the calling code now has error handling that can carry an error
code further up the call chain. Keep the exported interface
iommu_domain_alloc() returning NULL and reflow the internal code to use
ERR_PTR not NULL for domain allocation failure.
Optionally allow drivers to return ERR_PTR from any of the alloc ops. Many
of the new ops (user, sva, etc) already return ERR_PTR, so having two
rules is confusing and hard on drivers. This fixes a bug in DART that was
returning ERR_PTR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
