Hi Bjorn,

As part of enumeration PCIe sw will look read the vendor id's and device
id's under PCIe bus0 to see if there is any multi root ports etc..like
bus0 device1, bus0 device2.

In the first 1MB only first 4kb is used as config space for root port,
remaining memory acts as PCIe memory i.e if we access this memory the
transactions will go outside the link which can trigger some unknown
error.

if there is read request for vendor id for bus0 device2 PCIe sw will
try to access after 4kb region which can cause unknown errors.
So we need to block these transaction from going through PCIe link.

I will update the comment description in the next patch.
