1109 * and so we don't care about the sequencing of EATS. The purpose of
1110 * EATS_TRANS is to protect the system from hostile untrusted devices
1111 * that issue ATS when the PCI config space is disabled. However, if
1112 * EATS_TRANS is being changed, then we must have already trusted the
1113 * device as the EATS_TRANS security block is being disabled.
1114 *
1115 * Note: now the EATS_TRANS update is moved to the first entry_set().
1116 * Changing S2S and EATS might transiently result in S2S=1 and EATS=1
1117 * which is a bad STE (see "5.2 Stream Table Entry"). In such a case,
1118 * we can't do a hitless update. Also, it should not be added to the
1119 * safe bits with STRTAB_STE_1_EATS_S1CHK, because EATS=0b11 would be
1120 * effectively an errant 0b00 configuration.
