I meant if the RID context has not been set up before attaching this PASID,
this call will also set up the context, PASID dir etc. In the end, we
eliminated ordering requirement of attaching device, RID_PASID first, then
other PASIDs.
How about:
"If the device context has not been set up prior to this call, this will
set up the device context in addition to PASID attachment."

Thanks,
