Actually this was one open we closed in previous design proposal, but
looks you have a different thought now.
vfio maintains one ioas per container. Devices in the container
can be attached to different domains (e.g. due to snoop format). Every
time when the ioas is updated, every attached domain is updated
in accordance.
You recommended one-ioas-one-domain model instead, i.e. any device
with a format incompatible with the one currently used in ioas has to
be attached to a new ioas, even if the two ioas's have the same mapping.
This leads to compatibility check at attaching time.
Now you want returning back to the vfio model?

this is due to above background

yes, for pasid new api (e.g. iommu_attach_device_pasid()) will be added.
but here we only talk about physical device, and iommu_attach_device()
is only for physical device.

yes, this should be documented.
