I think having a per-backend policy that could be specified at the
toolstack level would be nice, but I see that as a further
improvement.

Having a global backend domain policy of whether persistent grants are
enabled or not seems desirable, and if someone wants even more fine
grained control this change is AFAICT not incompatible with a
per-backend option anyway.
