Subject: [PATCH v6 3/5] pci: Define virtio_pci_cap64
From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>
Define 'virtio_pci_cap64' to allow capabilities to describe
memory regions larger than, or with an offset larger than 4GiB.
This will be used by the shared memory region capability.

+A variant of this type, struct virtio_pci_cap64, is defined for
+those capaibilites that require offsets or lengths larger than
+4GiB:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+struct virtio_pci_cap64 {
+ struct virtio_pci_cap cap;
+ u32 offset_hi;
+ u32 length_hi;
+};
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+Given that the \field{cap.length} and \field{cap.offset} fields
+are only 32 bit, the additional \field{offset_hi} and \field {length_hi}
+fields provide the most significant 32 bits of a total 64 bit offset and
+length within the bar specified by \field{cap.bar}.
