The "performance" setting, e.g., "pci=pcie_bus_perf", adds a few
wrinkles by setting MRRS in ways that allow some devices to have
larger MPS than others.  I don't think this is exactly what was
envisioned in the spec, and it is not guaranteed to work if there is
peer-to-peer DMA.  This isn't documented very well; the best I know of
is the changelogs for:

  a1c473aa11e6 pci: Clamp pcie_set_readrq() when using "performance" settings
  b03e7495a862 PCI: Set PCI-E Max Payload Size on fabric
