It is likely. The code is only tested with the NVMe driver. It is not
polished at all.

If you find an issue and fix it I would apply your patch to the rust-pci
branch. You can also send me error description and I will try to help
solve the issue. Email or Github issue is fine with me.

I am aware that there must be issues, but I am not aware of specific
issues. Again, patches or bug reports are welcome.

Best regards,
Andreas
