I guess pci_acs_p2pdma_completion() returned PCI_ACS_P2PDMA_REDIRECT
even for RO Completions? But that didn't change the hardware
behavior -- maybe the caller *thought* Completions were routed through
the host bridge, but they actually weren't.

I kind of lost the plot here. What does the caller do with this
information? I don't think a device is *required* to set RO even when
it is enabled, and it may set RO on some transactions but not others.
