Yes, normally a user should never do that.
However, if a user really does that somehow(e.g., by mistake), without the 
small patch, the user may not notice the mistake in time and may be surprised 
when strange things happen (e.g., inside guest, 'lspci' shows 2 same devices; 
or guest may crash at some uncertain time point).
So, I think the small patch is useful.

Thanks,
