It's possible, but what's the benefit to do so. I think about it for
a while and I don't think it's not necessary, at least for now. First
of all, the SDEI event is injected from individual modules in userspace
(QEMU) or host kernel (Async PF). If we really want the function to be
disabled, the individual modules can accept parameter, used to indicate
the SDEI event injection is allowed or not. In this case, SDEI is enabled
by default, but the individual modules can choose not to use it :)

Thanks,
Gavin
