Yu,
Can you please add something to Documentation/PCI/pci.txt?
New API I'm seeing are:
+extern int pci_enable_ats(struct pci_dev *dev, int ps);
+extern void pci_disable_ats(struct pci_dev *dev);
+extern int pci_ats_queue_depth(struct pci_dev *dev);

Do these also need to be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() as well?
Or are drivers never expected to call the above?

thanks,
grant
