Note that this doesn't work here *anyway*. The fabric is picky in both directions: thou shalt use nGnRnE for on-SoC MMIO and nGnRE for PCIe windows, or else, SError.

Since these devices can support *any* PCI device via Thunderbolt, making PCI drivers be the oddball ones needing special APIs would mean hundreds of changes needed - the vast majority of PCI drivers in the kernel use plain ioremap variants that don't have any flags to look at.
