Will do. I'll change the usage of the MSE acronym in the other patches
as well.

Sure, I will change.

Something like:

/*
* Device does not implement PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY - this is true for any
* device marked is_virtfn, but is also true for any VF passed-through
* a lower-level hypervisor where emulation of the Memory Space Enable
* bit was not provided.
*/
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_COMMAND_MEMORY = (__force pci_dev_flags_t) (1 << 12),

?

Sure, will do. I'll roll up a new version once I have feedback from
Alex on the vfio changes.
