Yes. The copy table support for scalable mode is still in my task list.

non-present in kdump kernel. Attempt to access those address will cause
PF fault:

Hence skip dumping pasid table entries if in kdump kernel.

This just asks dmar_fault_dump_ptes() to keep silent. The problem is
that the context entry is mis-configured. Perhaps we should disable
copy table for scalable mode for now. How about below change?
