This RFC took the other easy way out for this problem by rejecting
attaching a domain if its currently assigned ASID/VMID
is out of range when attaching to a new SMMU. But I'm not sure
which of the two options is the right trade-off.
Especially if we move VMID to a global allocator (which I plan to add
for v2), setting a global maximum for VMID of 256 sounds small.
