The assumption is that all custom allocators on the same guest will end
up calling the same host allocator. Having multiple custom allocators in
the list is just a way to support multiple (p)vIOMMUs with hotplug.
Therefore, we cannot nor need to free all PASIDs when one custom
allocator goes away. This is a different situation then switching
between default allocator and custom allocator, where custom allocator
has to start with a clean space.

yes, i can turn default_allocator_active into a bool type.
