Yes, it's more user-friendly.

Yes, you are right. I should think it over after you commented on it
last time.
So it looks like we need to make it as:
ctrl = 0;
list_for_each_entry(pdev, &dev->bus->devices, bus_list)
if (pdev->is_physfn)
goto found;
pdev = NULL;
if (pci_ari_enabled(dev->bus))
ctrl |= PCI_SRIOV_CTRL_ARI;
found:
pci_write_config_word(dev, pos + PCI_SRIOV_CTRL, ctrl);

Yes, will do.
Thank you for reviewing it. The patch series was applied on Xen Domain0
tree 2 days ago, and I'll carry your comments back to Xen tree too.
