I tried to verify that MPAM is advertised with qemu+gdb method, as
suggested by Oliver, but ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 register is not there.

  (gdb) i r ID_AA64PFR0_EL1
  Invalid register `ID_AA64PFR0_EL1'

Are there other suggestions?

Unfortunately, admins of the server do not provide me with this info.

For such cases, when MPAM is incorrectly advertised, can we have kernel
command line parameter like mpam=0 to override it's detection?

I think with "If you have a boot failure that bisects here" it's
acknowledged possibility and it's confirmed by our server.
