Understood, thanks.

I would explain how you chose the value, in particular if it can
affect next generation hosts sharing the same driver.

Add it to a comment.

It is there to provide a way to configure the system MPS, through
command line parameters, it is always a good idea to have it and
it should be part of your driver so that you can tune it in case
the MPS is misconfigured or you want to apply a specific configuration
for a given system.
Have a look at pcie_bus_config and how it is used in
pcie_bus_configure_settings(), that would clarify further.
Thanks,
Lorenzo
