Introducing a new mailbox to support updating lmt entries
and common lmt base address scheme i.e. multiple pcifuncs
can share lmt region to reduce L1 cache pressure for application.
Parameters passed to mailbox includes the primary pcifunc
value whose lmt regions will be shared by other secondary
pcifuncs. Here secondary pcifunc will be the one who is
calling the mailbox.
For example:
By default each pcifunc has its own LMT base address:
PCIFUNC1 LMT_BASE_ADDR A
PCIFUNC2 LMT_BASE_ADDR B
PCIFUNC3 LMT_BASE_ADDR C
PCIFUNC4 LMT_BASE_ADDR D
Application will choose PCIFUNC1 as base/primary pcifunc
and as and when other pcifunc(secondary pcifuncs) gets
probed, this mailbox will be called and LMTST table will
be updated as:
PCIFUNC1 LMT_BASE_ADDR A
PCIFUNC2 LMT_BASE_ADDR A
PCIFUNC3 LMT_BASE_ADDR A
PCIFUNC4 LMT_BASE_ADDR A
On FLR lmtst map table gets resetted to the default lmt
base addresses for all secondary pcifuncs.

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 Restructured Text 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.
