Point is 95% drivers do support multiple segments. These are the exceptions. We should try to fix them as much as we can. (I'll take a look at Greg's suggestion) In the end, this API is a backdoor and workarounds the proper APIs and usual practices like carrying struct pci_dev pointer. I'm trying to shoot that API in the foot so that a developer thinks twice before putting number 0 there. -- Sinan Kaya Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc. as an affiliate of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
