If this is the path then lets not call it attach/detach
please. 'set_dev_pasid' and 'set_dev_blocking_pasid' are clearer
names.

There is no extra work in the driver, beyond SMMU having to implement
a blocking domain. The blocking domain's set_dev_pasid op simply is
whatever set_dev_blocking_pasid would have done on the unmanaged
domain.

identity doesn't come into this, identity domains should have a NULL
set_dev_pasid op if the driver can't support using it on a PASID.

IMHO blocking_domain->ops->set_dev_pasid() is just a more logical name
than domain->ops->set_dev_blocking_pasid() - especially since VFIO
would like drivers to implement blocking domain anyhow.
