A lot! We have been involved in escalations from various customers
who have attempted to enable, say, KASLR and HMM at the same time.
And they ran out of phys address space, forcing them into an awkward
ugly choice of one or the other, often.

This is a huge pain point and a barrier to HMM adoption.
