Actually I don't think that Tom was a Maiar, I believe that he is possibly Beorn. Nothing is spoken of him again outside of The Hobbit. Could Beorn have been one of the Valinor, thus making Tom Bombadil a Valinor?

I haven't read far into the Sil, but from what I have seen, there are only 9 Maiars. Maybe there are more, but are lesser in staute and power.

I hope that this makes sense.
