Yes, I looked at this too. Intel has been merging dead code for a
while now. Ostensibly to prepare to get PASID support in.. But the
whole PASID thing looks to be redesigned from what was originally
imagined.

At least from VFIO I think the PASID support should not use this hacky
stuff, /dev/ioasid should provide a clean solution
