Subject: RE: [PATCH v3] Prevent devices with RMRRs from being placed into SI
 Domain during startup

I only perform this action on startup because that is the first time the devices are placed into the SI Domain when passthrough mode is used. If they never make it into the SI Domain then there is no RMRR confusion to worry about.

Why only on startup?

Note the white space here doesn't match existing comment blocks in
