To be fair, since we have only 7 user VMIDs and 8 chunks of GDS, we can make the 8th GDS chunk global and allocatable and use it based on a CS flag. It would need more work and a lot of testing though. I don't think we can do the testing part now because of the complexity of interactions between per-VMID GDS and global GDS, but it's certainly something that people could add in the future.
