My test system "only" has 6 PCIe slots, so I couldn't test with the
entire 10 possible PCIe interfaces. But 6 PCIe slots is still a good
number :-)

If you look at the cover letter of the PATCHv3, you'll see the output
of lspci -vvv. It shows that I create one PCI-to-PCI bridge for each
PCIe interface, regardless of whether the link is here or not. And for
those where there is nothing behind the bridge, no address space
reservation occurs, so I am not allocating address decoding windows for
those unused PCIe interfaces.

Best regards,

Thomas
