Can you elaborate on what "permanently shared with userspace" means
here? I assume it's only permanent as long as pci-stub is bound to
the device?
Also, a few words about what "it is safe" means here would be helpful.

The admin isn't going to read this sentence. Should there be a doc
update related to this? What sort of attack does this refer to?
