Re: [Patch Part2 V1 11/14] iommu/vt-d, PCI: update DRHD/RMRR/ATSR device scope caches when PCI hotplug happens

[Yijing Wang <wangyijing-hv44wF8Li93QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Gerry,
   This is patch solution is better than mine, it's more reliable.
I tested this patch in my huawei RH5885 platform, after applied it,
the issue is gone. But I can not test it in the case that bus number changed
after hotplug. Anyway, it's a good solution.

Thanks!
Yijing.

In my idea, pci device add/remove is not a frequent action, so maybe using kzalloc and kfree make
code more simplified, this is just my personal opinion.
