It might be better to add a sanity check asserting 'buf->trbe_hw_base' to
be within [buf->trbe_base..buf->trbe_base + nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE] before
writing that into TRBBASER_EL1.

So applicable 'buf->trbe_hw_base' will be derived from 'buf->trbe_base'
after taking into account workarounds (if any). Makes sense.

With or without the above sanity check.
