There's really no > compelling reason to have it on the nexus. The host bridge is not available yet at probing time of the host bridge. What we have is the host bridges parent (nexus) in the calling function. Either we hand out the parents device_t to nexus_pcib_is_host_bridge, or we find it out later. I thought it would be cleaner to not extend nexus_pcib_is_host_bridge arguments for a specialised case. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
