FWIW, macOS has had a "PCI Pause" functionality since 2013, documented here: (the anchor is apparently overridden by Javascript, scroll down to "Supporting PCIe Pause") https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/HardwareDrivers/Conceptual/ThunderboltDevGuide/Basics02/Basics02.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011138-CH4-SW14 In addition to memory resources, they also reallocate bus numbers and MSIs.
