Sorry for the late reply. A lot of mailing list messages have been
redirected to my spam folder for some reason.

The pcie-dpc driver, if enabled in your kernel config, automatically
binds to any pcie downstream or root port that has the DPC capability. If
your DPC capable device is not seen as a root or downstream pcie port,
then pcie-dpc won't bind to it.

I don't see why you couldn't emulate the capability in QEMU, but I don't
see it implemented in any of the emulated pcie devices, so you'd have
to get someone to implement it in one of them.
