I really don't.

That, and also:
- No way to carve out LPI ranges for non-PCI allocations, should some
ITS mandate specific ranges
- No description of how to program the generating device, it required
- No platform with such requirements aiming for upstream support
To put it mildly, non-PCI support on the ITS is a rather long way
away, and it has nothing to do with the code. It has everything to do
with specifying what we want to support, and how we describe it in
DT. Until then, not much is going to happen.
