As I'm sure I've said before, there's no foreseeable issue with that.
For DMA, all it means is that we'll preallocate an identity mapping of
the whole ITS rather than dynamically mapping pages of it as devices
request MSIs; no functional change - if anything, it's slightly more
efficient. For VFIO, it just means that the groups for platform devices
will expose an MSI reservation at GITS_TRANSLATER instead of the
arbitrary MSI_IOVA_BASE - again, arguably that's actually desirable
because having all IOMMU groups be consistent with each other makes
userspace's life that little bit simpler.
