We're essentially only trying to catch the user in mismanaging the
enable bit if we trigger a fault based on the virtualized enabled bit,
right? There's no risk that the VF would trigger a UR based on the
state of our virtual enable bit. So is it worth triggering a user
fault when, for instance, the user might be aware that the device is a
VF and know that the memory enable bit is not relative to the physical
device? Thanks,
