I'm not really a fan of this.  I'd rather see some details about what
the problem is so we can actually fix it.

Ignoring the device doesn't mean the device is removed or even
inactive.  It may still be consuming address space that we need to
avoid.

Can you point us to bug reports about the issues you mentioned?
