I believe I did, I tried a lot back and forth back then...

but my testing of this may well have been before your patch with this
logic - the cost of being so slow with my patches - it won't happen
again...
Both with the somewhat counterintuitive second re-provision of the bus
name in
- pci_bridge_map_irq(br, g_strdup(tmp), pci_swizzle_map_irq_fn);
+ pci_bridge_map_irq(br, br->bus_name, pci_swizzle_map_irq_fn);
and actually with removing it due to Alex's commit 659fefee which was
also not in when this was conceived, I am now able to instantiate two
devices on two ports by means of:
-device ioh3420,slot=0,id=pcie_port.0
-device ioh3420,slot=1,id=pcie_port.1
-device <ari_capable_device1>,bus=pcie_port.0
-device <ari_capable_device2>,bus=pcie_port.1
In light of Markus' enlightening description of the mess here, unless
there are more issues, I'll repost the rest of the changes without this
commit,
Thanks,
