Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 03/30] PCI: Export busn_resource to drivers/pci

>> Hi Bjorn, busn_resource may would not be shared by multi domains,
>>
>> We insert bus number resource like:
>>
>> pci_add_resource(&resources, &busn_resource);	
>> 	pci_bus_insert_busn_res(root_bus, start, bus_max);	//start is the root bus number provided by arch pci host driver, bus max here == 255
>> 		get_pci_domain_busn_res(domain)	//for root bus	//try to get a domain specific pci_domain_busn_res, if not exist, create it.
>> 			request_resource_conflict(domain_specific_busn_res, res)   //request busn res(start, bus_max) from the pci_domain_busn_res.
>>
>> So every domain has its own pci_domain_busn_res , different domain would not share the same bus number resource.

Agree, I will drop this patch, thanks!
