changes v1 to v2:
  Split v1 patch into 3.

  Added a BUG FIX patch (#1: "exec: Do not use MemoryRegion after
  free").

    Technically this bug fix should be a separate patch, however this
    issue only seems to reproduce when this patch set is applied.


  Michael S. Tsirkin:
    "You need some other API that makes sense, probably PCI specific."
      This is basically patch #2: "Extend device listener interface..."

    "This is relying on undocumented assumptions and how specific
    firmware works. There's nothing special about bus number 255,
    and 0 is not very special either (except it happens to be the
    reset value)."
      Dropped all checking of 0 and 255.


Open question by Michael S. Tsirkin:

We could broadcast config space ioreqs to all emulators, the problem
is how do we know (in the case of a read) which emulator is actually
the one supplying the data? At some level Xen needs to know who is
implementing what.

  Paul Durrant

So this patch set just adjusts Xen to correctly know the current set
of PCI devices and their bus, device, and function.

It does not attempt to calculate the visibility of the PCI devices.


v1:

Note: Right now hvmloader in Xen does not handle PCI to PCI bridges
and so SeaBIOS does not have access to PCI device(s) on secondary
buses.  How ever domU can setup the secondary bus(es) and this patch
will restore access to these PCI devices.

  Extend device listener interface for PCI to PCI bridges
  xen: Add usage of device listener interface for PCI to PCI bridges
  xen: Fix map/unmap of pcidev to ioreq server
