Just to speak precisely here, a hot-added device is not "between" two
active ones because the new device has zeros in its BARs.

BARs from different devices can be interleaved arbitrarily, subject to
bridge window constraints, so we can really only speak about a *BAR*
(not the entire device) being between two other BARs.

Also, I don't think there's anything here that is PCIe-specific, so we
should talk about "PCI", not "PCIe".

A chicken switch to turn this functionality off is OK, but I think it
should be enabled by default.  There isn't anything about this that's
platform-specific, is there?
