Is this related to any of the several known MMU-500 invalidation errata, 
or is it definitely specific to something NVIDIA have done with their 
integration?

I'm not the biggest fan of adding a super-specific hook for this, when 
it seems like it could just as easily be handled in the init_context 
hook, which is where it is precisely for the purpose of mangling the 
pgtable_cfg to influence io-pgtable's behaviour.

Thanks,
Robin.
