Seems reasonable to me. Can you post as a patch (not in the middle of
this conversation)?
Are you seeing this warning on some system? If so, can we include the
warning and kind of system?
Please include a PCIe spec citation ("PCIe r6.0, sec x.y.z") for the
actual restriction here.
Nits: Add "()" after function names.
