Hi Bjorn, Lorenzo, since basically this patchset is Hyper-V stuff, I would
like it to go through the hyper-v tree if you have no objection.

The hyper-v tree already has one big PCI patch from Michael:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hyperv/linux.git/commit/?h=hyperv-next&id=2c6ba4216844ca7918289b49ed5f3f7138ee2402

Thanks,
Dexuan
