          Page Pools wait for all the memory allocated from them to be freed
          before truly disappearing. "Detached" Page Pools cannot be
          "re-attached", they are just waiting to disappear.
          Attribute is absent if Page Pool has not been detached, and
          can still be used to allocate new memory.
