Indeed, it also occurred to me on the way home on Friday that in this 
case we probably could get away with just setting HA/HD/HAFT 
consistently in all SVA CDs irrespective of the mm. Strictly, EPD0 only 
forbids *new* walks from using TTB0, so there might potentially be some 
outstanding PTE updates still made in the window between the config 
update and the TLBI at the end of arm_smmu_mm_release(), but that 
shouldn't be harmful.

Lemme spin a v3...

Cheers,
Robin.
