Need clarification. The flag "untrusted" is currently a part of pci_dev struct, and is populated within the PCI subsystem. 1) Is your suggestion to move this flag as well as the attribute to device core (in "struct device")? This would allow other buses to populate/use this flag if they want. By default it'll be set to 0 for all devices (PCI subsystem will populate it based on platform info, like it does today). OR 2) Are you suggesting to keep the "untrusted" flag within PCI, but attach the sysfs attribute to the base device? (&pci_dev->dev)?
