Unfortunately, my case is a bit different due to the "direct attach"
feature for guest VMs. When a device moves from say a paging domain to be
directly attached to a VM, today, it must first be detached. But since
that just moves to identity, I am discussing with hyp team if detach
is really required, and if we can get rid of it via just attaching to
identity/blocked first before doing the direct attach. Hopefully, it
can be done even if changes are needed in the hypervisor.

Thanks again,
