And preferably, Linux should complain about it.  Since we know it is going
to cause problems, and since we know it does happen, we should be raising a
ruckus about it in the kernel log (and probably fixing it to min(path) while
at it)...

Is this something that should be raised as a feature request with the
PCI/PCIe subsystem?
