I think your quirk isn't executed if a device is hotplugged to an
initially-empty Downstream Port.

Also, if a device which triggered the quirk is hot-removed and none
of its siblings uses ACS P2P Request Redirect, cut-through forwarding
isn't reinstated.

Perhaps we need additional pci_fixup ELF sections which are used on
hot-add and hot-remove?
