Nit: This is making me consider renaming the helper as
`iommu_preserve_folio`. I almost thought why are we preserving a single
page.

Nit: Is the first entry always 4K or could it change based on PAGE_SIZE?

I'm wondering if this could be slightly relaxed to:
if (ser->intel.max_pasid < max_pasid) to ensure it's a minimum
requirement rather than an exact match?
