Why did you keep this here? I had mentioned it belonged in the common code:

https://lore.kernel.org/virtualization/3864ae3b-d6cd-4227-b4bb-56e014c71...@oracle.com/T/#u

because the limitation applies to all drivers. I didn't see a reply about it
but saw you did fix up the comment. Not sure if I missed it or there was
a technical issue you hit.
