The initial idea was that the driver has a domain and it wants to attach
the domain to a pasid of the device. During attaching, iommu core will
save the domain in its xarray.

After use, driver want to detach the domain from the pasid by calling
iommu_detach_device_pasid(). The iommu core will compare the input
domain and the one it saved. A warning will be triggered if they are
different.

	WARN_ON(xa_erase(&group->pasid_array, pasid) != domain);

Logically speaking, @domain for detach_device_pasid is unnecessary,
because the pasid array is essentially per-device (as we discussed
before. the pci_enable_pasid() ensures this), although it is currently
placed in the group structure. In that case, the driver can and should
own everything about the pasid and domain. The roles of the iommu core
and the individual driver are only to handle requests of installing or
withdrawing a domain on/from a device's pasid.
