I should have remembered this when looking at v1 already: While some of your
other changes go farther (and hence are likely preferable), this one I'd rather
not see go in. I'd favor respective pieces of what's still pending from
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2024-02/msg00983.html. First and
foremost because ATS really is not only not x86-specific - it's not VT-d-
specific either.
