SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 0/3] pci: ACS fixes & quirks

As I read the PCIe & SRIOV specs wrt ACS, this patch set appears
to fix the nuances we have learned about whether a device (MFD or bridge)
implements (the equiv. of) ACS, or not, as required (for secure, device assignment).
Like the layering of which flag bits to check based on ACS control/enablement,
so it de-complicated the per-PCIe-type checking in pci_acs_enabled().

You can add my ack to the patch set...

Acked-by: Donald Dutile <ddutile@redhat.com>

ps -- I'll patch a kernel & test it out on a few knarly configs I have back in
the lab
when I back from vacation and report any issues I find, if any.
