I am trying to see if IOASIDs cgroup can also fit in this misc controller
as yet another resource type.

However, unlike sev IOASIDs need to be migrated if the process is moved to
another cgroup. i.e. charge the destination and uncharge the source.

Do you think this behavior can be achieved by differentiating resource
types? i.e. add attach callbacks for certain types. Having a single misc
interface seems cleaner than creating another controller.

Thanks,
