2014-03-02drop /* LEGACY version was not little endian */mstsirkin
Two issues with the comment: - it mixes legacy documentation in main part of the spec - it says what format *isn't* - instead of what it *is* Now that we have documented that LE can mean legacy endian, there's no need for the comment.

2014-02-26ccw: Fix requirements for processing adapter interrupts.rusty
We currently mandate that the driver clears the summary indicator before processing the queue indicator; this is bogus, as the requirement for interrupt avoidance is rather that the driver unsets the summary indicator before before it stops looking at the queue indicator. In fact, the best way to get a race-free implementation of the interrupt handler is to process the queue indicators twice; let's add a recommondation to do that.

2014-02-26Feedback: PCI: Separate explanatory and normative text.rusty
Rather than treat selectors 0 and 1 as special, the wording for features is made more general (though still the same effect). I split the interrupt handler into a separate subsection: it was misleading because it didn't handle configuration interrupts until the next section. It's also non-normative.

Feedback: 10) 4.1.3.1.2 Queue Vector Configuration Some of the information from section 8.4 needs to be moved to here, for example that the device may have an MSI-X table size other than 2048.

Re section: 4.1.3.4 Notification of Device Configuration Changes Feedback: Please use "PCI configuration space" and "device configuration state" consistently, without abbreviation. For example, from the first sentence it looks like "device configuration state" can be changed, but the first bullet claims it's "configuration space". So, which one? Does "configuration space" mean "PCI configuration space" or is it a synonym for "device configuration state"? Because those are two different things; the driver needs to know what exactly to rescan.
