They're not practical with today's I/O limits; a x4 PCIe link running at
gen4 speeds will take 2 seconds to do 16GB of I/O.  Assuming doubling of PCIe
speeds every four years, and a reasonable latency of 0.1 seconds, we're
about fifteen years away from that being reasonable.  I'm sure this
code will have bitrotted by then and whoever tries to add support for
them will have work to do ...

I had that in an earlier version and there were two callers, so I
took it out again because it was more effort to explain what it did
than it was to open-code it.
