IMHO if certain HW has broken support for PAGING (eg because it can't
handle the isochronous needs) then it should be quirked and blocked
properly.

I thought the issue here was the PASID check forcing identity and
accidently capturing these raven chips too? It should just be moved
out to a normal quirk..

That's quite a hacky check to make in that commit..

The SME check makes no sense either, but if you want to stage things
I'm OK with it.
