So you're saying that users of this controller must boot with
"pci=pcie_bus_perf"?  That's a little unfriendly to users.  When they
forget to use that parameter and some mysterious PCIe error occurs,
they will not thank you.

We should be able to figure this out automatically via some sort of
quirk in the driver, and then do the right thing in the MPS/MRRS
configuration.  That would also give us a chance to make sure that
when the MPS/MRRS code changes, it can be done in a way that keeps
this Rev1.0 controller working.

If you depend on users booting with "pci=pcie_bus_perf", there's no
connection in the code, and if we change or remove that parameter, we
would have no clue that you depend on it.
