No. I don't see the need to be overly cooperative with people who do
not care about what they ship.

If you want to run on broken systems, pass the option that allow you
to do so. But don't make it more complicated for people who have HW
that actually works.

I would rather remove the option to disable MPAM altogether and leave
these broken systems completely unsupported.
