There seems to be a certain amount of commonality between this and
pci_scan_device().  Have you considered trying to make a common helper
function, or does it not work out well?

Greg is probably going to ding you here for adding the device, then
creating the symlinks.  I believe it's now best practice to create the
symlinks first, so there's no window where userspace can get confused.

I question the existance of this mutex now.  What's it protecting?

Aren't we going to be implicitly protected by virtue of the Physical
Function device driver being the only one calling this function, and the
driver will be calling it from the ->probe routine which is not called
simultaneously for the same device.

%u, perhaps?  And maybe 'id' should always be unsigned?  Just a thought.

I'm glad to see these symlinks documented in later patches!

Can't this be written more simply as:

	for (i = 0; i < PCI_SRIOV_NUM_BARS; i++) {
		res = dev->resource + PCI_SRIOV_RESOURCES + i;
		if (res->parent)
			nres++;
	}
?

Randy, can you help us out with better wording here?

and here.

I skipped to the end and read patch 7/7 and I still don't understand
what dep_link is for.  Can you explain please?  In particular, how is it
different from physfn?
