I'm not sure this is actually useful, the core code should provide the
allocator as I can't think of any device that actually needs a special
allocator.

This is OK only if we know in-advance that the device needs a global
PASID. ENQCMD is one reason, maybe there are others down the road.

Better to make this core code policy.
