Thanks for the comment.

This case is not took into consideration yet, so it is not supported now.
While I think it is time to think about the solution now.

Hmm... after reading the code a while, this seems some change in current code.

1. The hierarchy of VF's device node
   
                    +---------+
                    |P2P      |parent
                    +----+----+
                         |       pbus
            +------------+------------+              vbus
            |                         |           ---------------+
       +---------+              +-----+---+          |
       |DEV      |child1        |DEV      |child2    |
       +---------+              +---------+          |
                                                  +----+------+
                                                  |VF         | vchild
                                                  +-----------+

   From the chart above, the left side is the device node hierarchy without
   VFs. Each pci device is the direct child of the P2P bridge. When match pci
   device and its device node, the code go through the parent bus node's child
   list and find the one with same devfn.(in pci_set_of_node()). And we can
   tell the parent bus node is the P2P bridge's device node.

   This works fine, untill VFs need to be added. vbus is a child of the pbus,
   and vbus->self is NULL. So first thing is to set the correct device node
   for this virtual bus. From the chart above, looks both P2P bridge and the
   DEV could be the device node. While the later one seems more reasonable.

2. Reserve virtual bus number in firmware
   This is not a big issue, just reserve enough bus number in firmware.
   Otherwise, pci device and device node may not match.
