I still do not like this comment.  There is nothing about only using this
for storage devices.  It is specific to a PCIe slot, and if I plug
something that is not a storage device into it the same restrictions
still apply.

Hm, I thought this comment was good. Despite the dupious connection to
storage, the function name matches the ACPI property, so an explanation
for this misnomer seems appropriate.
