Is there an actual problem of sharing PASID table between aliasing RIDs?
As long as ACS is enabled the device is isolated from other devices
in the fabric. DMA aliases don't change that fact and there is no p2p
between aliasing RIDs.

Looks only PCI PASID is supported so far. both in Intel/ARM/AMD
drivers. If other buses will support PASID one day, then ACS-equivalent
can be also checked in their PASID enabling APIs.
