Hi Greg,
I would love to do this in runtime and that was my intent all along
until I hit a wall on *how* to find out it in runtime if I'm running
on POWER9 with PHB4 or not.
I did a search in the kernel code, consulted with a couple of people
but I didn't get any way of doing this in runtime.
If you have some way, please share it with me because I hit a wall
with this issue.

The fact of the matter is, I have two different configurations of *my*
device's PCIe controller. One is only suitable to POWER9 with PHB4 and
the other one suits all the rest architectures/systems (that we have
tested so far). So I have to know which system I'm running on and as I
said, I didn't find a kernel API which can help me do that.

Thanks,
Oded
