In order to do static labeling for device passthrough, the nodes in a
device tree need a 32-bit numeric identifier.  IO memory uses the MFN,
PCI devices use SBDF, and IRQs and x86 legacy IOs just use the number.

A 32-bit number can't uniquely identify an MMIO MFN.

Isn't 32-bit enough to describe an MFN?

Up to 32+12== 44 bits, yes, but we know there are ARM systems with 48
bit PA out there.

Hmmm... checkpolicy and flask will have to be fixed then.
