I meant, it depends on the capability semantics. Both PASID and legacy MMIO don't need to be accessed by BIOS. We can't change legacy BIOS to use legacy MMIO bars.

unlikely as bios is looking in the legacy section.New capabilities like legacy (and pasid) has no backward compat requirement from bios and drivers.
so they can start from new.
