For example, if we use BBML2 for kernel mappings, does that require us
to repaint all kernel mappings when disabling BBML2 on smmu attach? I
am not sure, but definitely something to be worked out.
No, it would be a per-mm_struct basis only if we did something like
that

When the SMMU driver puts a SVA on top of the mm_struct it would
disable BBML2 usage only for that mm_struct and it's contained VMAs.

Kernel mappings are never made into a SVA so are not effected.
Userspace only.
