It's not a problem as the PE numbers are reserved and then
allocated all at once in fine order. However, it will introduce
conflicts when PCI hotplug is supported: the PE number to be
reserved for newly added PE might have been assigned.

To resolve above conflicts, this forces the PE number to be
allocated dynamically in reverse order. With this patch applied,
the PE numbers are reserved in ascending order, but allocated
dynamically in reverse order.


The patch is probably is ok, the commit log is not - I do not follow it. Some PEs are reserved (for what? why does the absolute PE number matter? put it in the commit log), that means that the corresponding bits in pe_alloc[] should be set so when you will be allocating PEs for a just plugged device, you won't pick them and you will pick free ones, and the order should not matter. I would think that "reservation" happens once at the boot time so you set "used" bits for the reserved PEs then and after that the dynamic allocator will skip them.
