My only point was that this is a good test-case for code which assumes that all PCI devices lie under a PCIe root port. At one point during development, my code reported that device up there as /06.3 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon 5500/Core i7 Integrated Memory Controller Channel 2 Thermal Control Registers (rev 04) but since I had that system available to test with, I spotted that problem and made it present that device as ff:06.3 (both with and without -P). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
