Hi,
This is good idea,
because the following patch of mine attempts to add inbound windows,
and I had to create another API pci_create_root_bus2
[PATCH v7 2/3] PCI: Add support for PCI inbound windows resources
Lorenzo : Once this API is ready, please send it across.
I can test it with respect to inbound resources and IOVA reservation
on our platform.
Regards,
Oza.
