Doing unlocked xfers w/o manually doing the locking is a bug. If you are
aware of code doing this, please point them out!
Issuing an unlocked xfer on the same adapter that has been manually locked
has been a thing since forever. But issuing that xfer on the root adapter
"behind the back" of e.g. an address translator is simply not going to work
at all if it never sees the xfer and thus never gets a chance to modify it.
A mux might also in theory add quirks or adjust xfers for whatever reason,
and that possibility will be made impossible by hiding the xfer from the
mux.

The runtime cost will be negligible. The bigger cost is IMO the maintenance
overhead.
