There is no restriction on maximum value of PCI domain. In fact, Linux kernel uses plain atomic inc when assigning PCI domains: drivers/pci/pci.c:static int pci_get_new_domain_nr(void) drivers/pci/pci.c-{ drivers/pci/pci.c- return atomic_inc_return(&__domain_nr); drivers/pci/pci.c-} Of course, this function is called only if kernel was compiled without PCI domain support or ACPI did not provide PCI domain. However, QEMU still has the same restriction as us: in set_pci_host_devaddr() QEMU checks if domain isn't greater than 0xffff. But one can argue that that's a QEMU limitation. We still want to be able to cope with other hypervisors that don't have this limitation (possibly).
I would argue that by lifting this check we fail to report the error early for QEMU that (still) lacks the support for it. But I doubt that the QEMU fix will be detectable in our capability probing code, so:
