Yes, but if the driving reason for this patch is because a VFIO user
like EFA DPDK is trying to work around VFIO limitations, then I'd say
the VFIO mmap should be amended, and not so much worring about sysfs.

While there is no reason for ARM to not show the sysfs, it really
should never be used. Modern kernels in secure boot don't even show
it, for instance.
