I think we should rely on the core code to detach all PASIDs prior to
calling release, drivers should not do this. I suppose that means we
have a missing bit in the core code.

FWIW, I'd like to get to a point where the core code can also
automatically attach an identity domain so that the driver's release
functions don't have to open code that either...

Thus I wouldn't do this patch..
