I can't tell if the opencapi code is similar enough to run into the root 
problem which motivated the change.

Would it be possible for every brick to be fenced at once, say if you 
did FLR on every device simultaneously? Even if so, I don't know if that 
would then defeat ATS as it does in the NVLink case.
