The current hypercall interface for doing PCI device operations always uses a segment field that has a 16 bit width. However on Linux there are buses like VMD that hook up devices into the PCI hierarchy at segment >= 0x10000, after the maximum possible segment enumerated in ACPI. Attempting to register or manage those devices with Xen would result in errors at best, or overlaps with existing devices living on the truncated equivalent segment values. Note also that the VMD segment numbers are arbitrarily assigned by the OS, and hence there would need to be some negotiation between Xen and the OS to agree on how to enumerate VMD segments and devices behind them. Skip notifying Xen about those devices. Given how VMD bridges can multiplex interrupts on behalf of devices behind them there's no need for Xen to be aware of such devices for them to be usable by Linux.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
