[PATCH 0/3] bhyve: enabling bus enumeration

Hi,

this is the next patch series, it'd like to send to the EDKII project.
It enables bus enumeration. The use case for this is PCI ROM support.

Enabling bus enumeration means that the firmware reassigns the address
of the BAR of all PCI devices and executes PCI ROMs if it find some. Our
previous approach was that bhyve assigns the address of all BARs. This
is required in cases were no firmware is available like booting with
bhyveload or grub2-bhyve. While reassigning BARs in guest firmware seems
unnecessary, it's required to fully support PCI ROMs.

Some use cases where bus enumeration is required:
1. GPU passthrough
   Here bus enumeration solves two issues:
   1. The ROM can contain a GOP driver. This is required for graphical
      output before the OS driver is loaded.
   2. The linux drm driver has a dependency on the ROM. As GPU ROMs are
      shadowed in system memory, it searches for this shadowed version.
      So, drm won't be able to find the ROM if bus enumeration is
      disabled and refuses to load.
2. NIC passthrough
   The ROM can contain a PXE driver which is required to PXE boot from
   this device.

Any feedback is appreciated.


Thanks,
Corvin
