2014-02-26Feedback: Separate the rest of chapter 2 into normative vs explanatory.rusty
The big change here is in introducing new subsections for interrupt and notification suppression, and moving all requirements into them. The example processing loop is also moved into a note, to show clearly that it's not normative.

2014-02-26PCI: better document driver and device requirementsrusty
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. Otherwise, this reads as though the MSI-X table must always have 2048 entries. 11) Please explicitly describe the device behavior when writing a vector value beyond the MSI-X table size.

2014-02-12PCI: consistent device/PCI configuration spacerusty
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.
