Right, if you have a multifunction root port and you want to check a
feature that applies to downstream ports, but not multifunction devices,
we were previously filtering those out.

I think we also don't want to put the complexity at the caller for
understanding what capabilities are applicable to a given device. It's
also convenient to use the set of ACS flags. Given that, the current
naming came about. It's a little awkward, but it's easy to use.
Suggestions for a better name?

It could certainly return true, I debated that for a while and decided
to break just to reduce the number of exit points. Omitting the case
means that anyone who looks at this in the future has to figure out why
those pcie types aren't explicitly listed.

Ok. I re-organized it because I got tired of re-reading the spec to
make sure that a given type of device was handled correctly. Note that
the above simplification incorrectly handles multifunction bridges or EC
devices. I can do something like you suggest, but being explicit was
actually a goal in fixing this bug and avoiding future bugs. Thanks,
Alex
