The PASID MSR is x86 specific although PASID is PCIe concept and per-mm.
Checking if the MSR has valid PASID (bit31=1) is an x86 specifc work.
The flag should be cleared in cloned()/forked() and is only set and
read in fixup() in x86 #GP for heuristic. It's not used anywhere outside
of x86.

That's why we think the flag should be in x86 struct thread_info instead
of in generice struct task_struct.

Please advice.

Thanks.
