Hi Shanker,

Thanks for putting this together. Comments below:

Why not try to use indirect tables if they are available, irrespective
of the size of the required allocation? From a memory usage point of
view, it is likely to always be a gain, unless your id space is so
small that it fits in a single page. And with PCIe, you know for sure
that the ID space is extremely sparse, hence indirect tables are an
immediate win.

Do you see any value in using the indirect table as a last resort?

Please take this opportunity to split this function into something
manageable. It is really getting out of control. Something to directly
deal with the device table seems in order.

Be careful, this must be written in LE format. If you're running a BE
kernel, you're in for a nasty surprise...

Please fold these checks into its_alloc_device_table so that it takes
an its_node as a first parameter instead of an its_baser. That will make
the code a bit more readable.
