For upper layers, before starting page tracking, they check the

(or iommu core) should block further device attach/detach operations
until page tracking is stopped.
But when a domain becomes capable after detaching a device, the upper layer
still needs to query it and enable dirty log for it...
To make things coordinated, maybe the upper layer can register a notifier,
when the domain's capability change, the upper layer do not need to query,
instead
they just need to realize a callback, and do their specific policy in the
callback.
What do you think?
That might be an option. But why not checking domain's attribution every
time a new tracking period is about to start?
