Correct, it is not used

Not only that, so pci-stub is not enough

The functionality which is implemented by the pciback and the toolstack
and which is relevant/missing/needed for ARM:

1. pciback is used as a database for assignable PCI devices, e.g. xl
    pci-assignable-{add|remove|list} manipulates that list. So, whenever the
    toolstack needs to know which PCI devices can be passed through it reads
    that from the relevant sysfs entries of the pciback.

2. pciback is used to hold the unbound PCI devices, e.g. when passing through
    a PCI device it needs to be unbound from the relevant device driver and bound
    to pciback (strictly speaking it is not required that the device is bound to
    pciback, but pciback is again used as a database of the passed through PCI
    devices, so we can re-bind the devices back to their original drivers when
    guest domain shuts down)

3. Device reset

We have previously discussed on xen-devel ML possible solutions to that as from the

above we see that pciback functionality is going to be only partially used on Arm.

Please see [1] and [2]:

1. It is not acceptable to manage the assignable list in Xen itself

2. pciback can be split into two parts: PCI assignable/bind/reset handling and

the rest like vPCI etc.

3. pcifront is not used on Arm

So, limited use of the pciback is one of the bricks used to enable PCI passthrough

on Arm. It was enough to just re-structure the driver and have it run on Arm to achieve

all the goals above.

If we still think it is desirable to break the pciback driver into "common" and "pcifront specific"

parts then it can be done, yet the patch is going to be the very first brick in that building.

So, I think this patch is still going to be needed besides which direction we take.

Hope this sheds some light,

Oleksandr
