Wait a minute.  We're getting way too much of this MRRS fiddling with 
too little understanding of what the real problem is, and this is
becoming a maintenance problem.

We need more details about what the problem is and what specific
devices are affected.  If this is a defect in the host bridge, we
should have published errata about this because AFAICT there is
nothing in the spec that limits the MRRS the OS can program.

If we need to work around a problem, the quirk should relate to the
device that is defective, not to every PCI device that could
potentially be plugged in.
