I am not following above two lines. Why and how could iommufd set a
core domain to an iommu_group?
Perhaps this isn't the best narrative. What it's supposed to say
is that this function acts as an iommu_attach_group() call if the
device is "detached", yet we have changed the semantics about the
word "detach". So, what should the correct way to write such a
note?
How could this interface be used as detaching a domain from a group?
Even it could be used, doesn't it act as an iommu_detach_group()?
No. I didn't say that. It doesn't act as detach(), but attach()
when a device is already "detached".

The original statement is saying, "if the attached domain is a
core domain", i.e. the device is detach()-ed, "it will act just
like the iommu_attach_group()".

Oh! My bad. I misunderstood it. Sorry for the noise. :-)

Best regards,
