I'll leave any attempt to defend keeping this code to Alexey, but
minimally these region sub-types and capability IDs should probably be
reserved to avoid breaking whatever userspace might exist to consume
these.  Our ID space is sufficiently large that we don't need to
recycle them any time soon.  Thanks,
