Oh ok, I thought it was to guard against removal. What's the reason
we can't have multiple concurrent users of the region though?
The PCISTB/PCILG should be able to be executed concurrently but
I'm probably missing something.

Hmm, ok that idea was based on my assumption that it guards
against removal. My bad, of course without my patch it wouldn't
and this came before..
