Kerf currently drops PCI host-bridge information when it parses and rewrites a
Multikernel device tree. As a result, a spawned kernel may receive its assigned
PCI device without the ECAM metadata needed to discover and access it.
This change:
Device trees without a
pci-host-bridgessection continue to work unchanged.This complements the Linux SR-IOV assignment series, allowing the secondary
kernel to discover its assigned VF while the primary retains the PF.
Works alongside the relevant SR-IOV changes in the kernel multikernel/linux#4 .
