Seems reasonable to me.  Can you post as a patch (not in the middle of
this conversation)?

Are you seeing this warning on some system?  If so, can we include the
warning and kind of system?

Please include a PCIe spec citation ("PCIe r6.0, sec x.y.z") for the
actual restriction here.

Nits: Add "()" after function names.
