Currently, the identity domain attachment follows the same path as the
paging domain attachment and is subject to the same compatibility checks
as a normal paging domain. However, this level of check is unnecessary
for the identity domain since it only requires the hardware to support
passthrough mode, which is a given for modern hardware.
On the early VT-d platforms, where hardware passthrough mode is not yet
supported, the identity domain is supported by a makeshift paging domain
with the entire system memory 1:1 mapped. For such early hardware, the
appropriate domain type should be returned in device_def_domain_type(),
and the identity domain should be simplified in compatibility checks.
The identity domain workaround in prepare_domain_attach_device() is just
temporary and should be removed once the identity domain is converted to
have its own dedicated attachment path.
