Auto-allocate doesn't matter, the PASID is tied to the mm_struct,
after fork the program will get a new mm_struct, and it can manually
re-trigger PASID allocation for that mm_struct from any SVA kernel
driver.

64k processes, each with their own mm_struct, all triggering SVA, will
allocate 64k PASID's and use up the whole 16 bit space.

I think it is basically everything in this patch.. Why duplicate all
this uAPI?
