I understand your concern, and agree that using the array as resource manager is not the best way. But for now it's not possible as you know. We need a better resource manager for PCI subsystem to manage the various resources (traditional, device specific, bus related), which is another independent work from SR-IOV change. > patch #2 moves us further from being able to achieve this goal, not > closer. The array is obvious straightforward and can be easily replaced with a more advanced resource manager in the future. So I don't think we going further from or closer to the goal.
