Yes. But it seems silly to even write code to play with device config in
memory when we agreed the right thing to do is to use a config vq
everywhere.
Now a question: does a oconfig vq look like a PCI specific
feature to you, a work-around for lack of multibyte atomic
accesses? If yes it's sane to make it a PCI capability.
Or is it something most transports would need? If yes we
need a feature bit and this is a chicken and egg problem ...
