You don't answer my concern yet: more memory will be needed if all PCI bus
numbers (0 to 255) are all valid. Also, 2 bytes are enough: one byte is for
bus number, another byte for devfn. Why we need 3 bytes here?

How many bits of the 16-bits (2-bytes) used as the hash key? I believe it
shouldn't all of them because lot of memory will be consumed for the hash
bucket heads. Since most of cases, we have bus level PE. So it sounds
reasonable to use the "devfn" as hash key, which is one-byte long. In this
case, 2KB (256 * 8) is used for the hash bucket head without any node
populated in the table yet.

Every node would be represented by below data struct, each of which consumes
24-bytes. If the PHB has 5 PCI buses, which is commonly seen, the total consumed
memory will be:

2KB for hash bucket head
30KB for hash nodes: (24 * 256 * 5)

struct pnv_ioda_rid {
       int bdfn;
       int pe_number;
       struct hlist_node node;
};

Don't forget it need more complex to maintain the conflicting list in one
bucket. So I don't see the benefit to use hashtable here.

I was intending to say: hashtable has more complex than array. The data
struct can be as simple as array. I don't see why we bother to have
hashtable here. However, you're correct, the code is just executed at
system booting and hotplug time.

The array (unsigned char pe_rmap[0x10000]) was introduced by Ben. I think
it's simple enough to finish the simple work: translating RID to PE number.
