Domain attach should either completely move to the new domain and succeed, or it should leave everything as is and fail.

If you are doing reset the s390 driver should keep track of what domain is supposed to be attached and fix it when the reset is completed. In this case it should not fail attach here for the mandatory success domain types. The core code does not reasonably handle failures from this routine, it must be avoided if you want it to be robust. Jason
