I still think that if people want to do this they should wrap their
stuff in a dvsec..

If we have no choice but to inject a PASID cap for this to work then I
don't think we should quirk every device, but punish those that don't
use DVSEC/etc

So.. If PASID injection is needed then block the unmanaged space and
add quirks for devices that really need it. Otherwise leave it
alone.
