+  example can be the virtual ID of the device on a vIOMMU, which is a unique ID
+  that VMM assigns to the device for a translation channel/port of the vIOMMU,
+  e.g. vSID of ARM SMMUv3, vDeviceID of AMD IOMMU, and vRID of Intel VT-d to a
+  Context Table. Potential use cases of some advanced security information can
+  be forwarded via this object too, such as security level or realm information
+  in a Confidential Compute Architecture. A VMM should create a vDEVICE object
+  to forward all the device information in a VM, when it connects a device to a
