I agree with Kevin here, let's make use of and add helpers to avoid
#ifdef blocks of code.

Why would we do that rather than reporting the feature as unsupported?
Just return -ENOTTY if PASID is not supported or enabled.

Building on Kevin's comment on the cover letter, if we could describe
an offset for emulating a PASID capability, this seems like the place
we'd do it.  I think we're not doing that because we'd like an in-band
mechanism for a device to report unused config space, such as a DVSEC
capability, so that it can be implemented on a physical device.  As
noted in the commit log here, we'd also prefer not to bloat the kernel
with more device quirks.

In an ideal world we might be able to jump start support of that DVSEC
option by emulating the DVSEC capability on top of the PASID capability
for PFs, but unfortunately the PASID capability is 8 bytes while the
DVSEC capability is at least 12 bytes, so we can't implement that
generically either.

I don't know there's any good solution here or whether there's actually
any value to the PASID capability on a PF, but do we need to consider
leaving a field+flag here to describe the offset for that scenario?
Would we then allow variant drivers to take advantage of it?  Does this
then turn into the quirk that we're trying to avoid in the kernel
rather than userspace and is that a problem?  Thanks,

Alex
