I have problems with pci_find_upstream_pcie_bridge. The
name is actively misleading about what that function does.
Returning a pci_to_pci bridge is strongly counter intuitive
give that name.
Can we change it to pci_find_upstream_pcie_to_pci_bridge.
Returning NULL in all cases when there is not an upstream
pcie_to_pci bridge.
For the set_sid case that is ideal. For the other cases in
intel-iommu.c it may be a problem. Is it even possible to have a
genuine pci device not behind a pcie to pci bridge on an intel
chipset with this iommu?

I am not deep in the IOV specification at the moment. I am mostly
wondering why we pick the parts we pick to verify. I recall
bus and devfn being on the pcie packets so that makes sense.
Why would we ever want to do something different? Does a pcie to pci
bridge do something different in it's translation?
