Thanks Vitaly for your response.

1. we have multiple objects of struct pci_raw_ops, 2. adding 'priority' field to struct pci_raw_ops
doesn't seems to be appropriate as need to take decision which object of struct pci_raw_ops has
to be used, not something with-in struct pci_raw_ops.

It's a generic solution for all hypervisor (sorry for earlier wrong Subject), not specific to VMware.

Further looking for feedback if it's impacting to any hypervisor.
