> If domain attaching to device fails, the IOMMU driver should bring the

> path of dev_attach to make the behavior specific.

> The difference between device_block_translation() and the previous

> RID2PASID entry instead of context entry being cleared. As a result,
> enabling PCI capabilities is moved up.
