Sorry, but why are unexpected DMA faults happening "at scale" in the 
first place? If you have so many broken drivers that disambiguating them 
needs help from the kernel, something seems fundamentally wrong with 
that picture. Conversely if these are devices assigned to userspace then 
we should perhaps reconsider their ability to spam up the host kernel 
log at will anyway.

I'm not saying I necessarily have anything against this change in 
particular, but it has a strong smell of effort being spent on the wrong 
thing...

(And even then AFAICS it only really helps in the specific scenario of 
having only one of each type of device, otherwise you're back to still 
needing per-system knowledge of how BDFs map to physical instances to 
know what's what.)

Thanks,
Robin.
