FWIW, tested this series with PCIe RC<->EP (using pcitest utility)
Without this series
READ => Size: 67108864 bytes      DMA: YES        Time: 0.137854270

WRITE => Size: 67108864 bytes     DMA: YES        Time: 0.049701495
seconds      Rate: 1318592 KB/s

With this series
READ => Size: 67108864 bytes      DMA: YES        Time: 0.045611175
