From 65891215e6b822c368fb3f36abf129ed48af8be0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2007 17:19:08 +1000 Subject: PCI: Create alloc_pci_dev(), the one true way to create a struct pci_dev There are currently several places in the kernel where we kmalloc() a struct pci_dev and start initialising it. It'd be preferable to have an allocator so we can ensure the pci_dev is correctly initialised in one place.
