Yes, of course, sorry for the confusion!

These are new callbacks, so drivers can explicitly show their support of movable BARs, and
the PCI core can detect if they don't and note that the corresponding BARs can't be moved
for now.

Oh, I see now. Rescan is rather a rare event, and unconditional remapping is simpler, so a
bit more resistant to bugs.

Thanks for catching that! This has also slipped form early stage of this pathset, when
reset_done() (which is rescan_done() now) just initiated an NVME reset.
