I'm sorry that the subject should be:

[PATCH V2 00/21] powerpc/eeh: PE support

I forgot got change that when pulling it from V1 :-)

Thanks,
Gavin

>The series of patches address explicit PE support as well as probe type
>support. For explicit PE support, struct eeh_pe has been introduced.
>While designing the struct, following factors have been taken into
>account.
>
>   * For one particular PE, it might be composed of single PCI device,
>     or multiple PCI devices and its educed children PCI devices (e.g.
>     by PCIe bridges). The PE struct has included a linked list to refer
>     the included PCI devices. Also, the linked list of devices has relected
>     top-to-bottom fasion of the PCI subtree. That's to say, the first device
>     in the linked list should be the toppest element in the PCI subtree which
>     is being managed by the PE.
>   * PEs correlate to each other. So the existing PEs have to form hierarchy
>     levels. There're some fields in PE struct (e.g. parent/child/silbing)
>     have been introduced for the purpose.
>   * For one PE, it's only meaningful in the PHB domain.
>
>In addition, the mechniasm used to do memory bars restore, error report have
>been reworked based on PE. The eeh cache has been reworked for a little bit
>based on Ben's suggestion to trace eeh device.

>In order for explicit probe support, either OF node or pci device, global
>variable and some inline functions are introduced. For pSeries platform, it's
>going to support OF node probe and figure out PEs from the corresponding OF
>nodes. In contrast, powernv platform has to use pci device probe type since
>the PEs are being constructed at PHB fixup time.

>V1 -> V2
>	* Rebase to 3.5.RC4.
>	* Use the link list to trace the relationships of PEs, PE and eeh
>	  devices according to Ram's suggestion.
>	* Simplify the PE tranverse function according to Ram's example.
>	* Move EEH initialization around according to Ben's suggestion so
>	  that we can do memory allocation through slab.
>	* Use kzmalloc() to allocate memory chunks for PE and eeh devices.
>	* More booting messages for EEH initialization functions.
>	* Introduce global EEH mutex to protect the PEs and eeh devices.
>	* Added functions to support PE removal.
>	* Comments cleanup
>	* Change on the comparison of PE or BDF (Bus/Device/Function)
>	  address so that code looks more readable.
