Yeah, it is actually important for that special SVA mm drop/release
case. We need to write a CD that blocks walking but always generates
translation fault.

I'm away from my computer right now, but if sashiko is saying that the
SVA flow that uses EPD generates a racy bad CD then that is a bug that
needs to be fixed. Possibly by ignoring HAFT in the used calculation
for the EPD cases.

We should also try to have a kunit to cover that specific mm drop flow
in the SVA code.
