The spec update has been posted here.

This is a fix for regression caused by cc580e41260d ("iommu/vt-d: Per
PCI device pasid table interfaces"), where the maximum of pasid table
was changed from 1MiB to 8MiB and stopping programming context entry
once the pasid table memory allocations is failed. This regression was
found on some internal pre-production devices.
