In brief, yes. But it's not only for SVA domain. Remember that SIOVr1
extends the usage of PASID. At least on Intel side, a PASID may be
attached to paging domains.

yes. If no old_domain passed in, then it is just a normal attachment. As
you are working on AMD iommu, it would be great if you can have a patch to
make the AMD set_dev_pasid() op suit this expectation. Then it can be
incorporated in this series. :)
