 entries

Hi,

this looks a bit confusing to me because I can see no checking whether
the device actually supports scalable mode. More below:

This code sets a flag to mark scalable mode enabled. Doesn't the device
need some handling too, like enabling the PASID capability and all?

Why is this checking the auxd_enabled flag? The function should just
return whether the device _supports_ scalable mode, not whether it is
enabled.
