No, if anything it *adds* a bunch of checks :)

Renaming the function won't work because then the compiler will
complain about it being unused. Unless you meant something like

  /* Delete once done */
  ValidateControllerPCIOld() {
    /* Existing checks here */
  }

  ValidateControllerPCI() {
    /* New checks here */

    /* Delete once done */
    ValidateControllerPCIOld();
  }

which could actually do the trick.
