Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] bus/pci: introduce PCIe TPH support

This patch introduces experimental APIs for PCIe TLP Processing Hints
(TPH) with Linux VFIO implementation and stub functions for BSD/Windows.

Is it correct to test off <= 0? The function rte_pci_find_ext_capability()
returns off_t which could be a valid offset of 0. Does this comparison
incorrectly reject offset 0 as invalid?

Does this line misuse PCI_TPH_LOC_MSIX as a field mask? It appears to be
intended as a location value (0x400), but RTE_FIELD_GET32 expects a proper
field mask for bit extraction. Can this code extract the table size
incorrectly?

Does this code use calloc() directly instead of the DPDK memory allocation
APIs? Should this use rte_zmalloc() or similar for consistency?

Does this code fail to translate the ioctl error code? Should this convert
errno to a negative value if ret is non-zero (typically -1)?

Does this code use free() instead of rte_free()? Should this match the
allocation function used?

Same concerns as above: does this code use calloc() instead of DPDK
allocation APIs?

[ ... ]

Same issue as above: does this code fail to translate errno on ioctl
failure?

Does this code dereference the function pointer incorrectly? Should this be
"if (dev->dev_ops->cache_stash_get == NULL)" without the dereference
operator?
