if you can check for-iommu branch,

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-iommu
current implementation:

after root bus plugged in,
drivers/acpi/pci_root_hp.c::handle_root_bridge_insert() ==>
acpi_bus_add ==> drivers/acpi/pci_root.c::acpi_pci_root_add ==>
arch/x86/pci/acpi.c::pci_acpi_scan_root
so all pci devices get scanned.

later
handl_root_bridge_insert ==>acpi_bus_add ==>
drivers/acpi/pci_root.c::acpi_pci_root_start==>
pcibios_reserouce_survey_bus/pci_assign_unassigned_bus_resource
and call iommu acpi_pci_driver .add aka
drivers/iommu/dmar.c::acpi_pci_iommu_add ==> register_iommu ==>
handle_iommu_add ==> dmar_parse_dev ==> dmar_parse_dev_scope ==>
dmar_parse_one_dev_scope

that dmar_parse_one_dev_scope will find pci device pointer and put it
back into dmaru device pointer array.

in the boot path, it the same, dev_scope is parsed later after pci
devices get scanned.

We really should remove that cache array for device pointer...
