no function change.
That's merely a prose description of the code.  A reader can already
see from the code what it's doing.  You need to explain the *reason*
for the change instead.  E.g.:  "Make pci_dev_is_disconnected() public
so that it can be called from $DRIVER to speed up hot removal
handling which may otherwise take seconds because of $REASONS."

Yup, why I made it public. then how about

"

Make pci_dev_is_disconnected() public so that it can be called from
Intel vt-d driver to check the device's hotplug removal state when
issue devTLB flush request."



Thanks,
