Hi,

This is the v6 for the preparation of virtual PCI support on Hyper-V

v5:	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210720134429.511541-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/ (local)

Changes since last version:

*	Rebase to 5.14-rc3

*	Comment fixes as suggested by Bjorn.

The basic problem we need to resolve is that ARM64 is an arch with
PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC=y, so the bus sysdata is pci_config_window. However,
Hyper-V PCI provides a paravirtualized PCI interface, so there is no
actual pci_config_window for a PCI host bridge, so no information can be
retrieve from the pci_config_window of a Hyper-V virtual PCI bus. Also
there is no corresponding ACPI device for the Hyper-V PCI root bridge,
which introduces a special case when trying to find the ACPI device from
the sysdata (see patch #3).

With this patchset, we could enable the virtual PCI on Hyper-V ARM64
guest with other code under development.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Boqun

If we take this series via the PCI tree we'd need Catalin/Will ACKs on
patches 3-4.

I need some time to look into [1] (thanks for that).

Without [1] patch 8 is ugly, that's no news. The question is whether
it is worth waiting for a kernel cycle to integrate [1] into this series
or not.

Is it really a problem if we postpone this series for another kernel
cycle so that we can look into it ?
