It might be simpler to just let SVA code allocate from 1 up instead of 0
(as is in the current code). Global PASID allocator would still allow the
full range from 0 to max. Then there is no change to architectures that
don't support non-zero RID_PASID. For VT-d, it would still work in the
future when we have nonzero RID_PASID. is that reasonable?

Thanks,

Jacob
