If a PCI device has VIR_PCI_CONNECT_AGGREGATE_SLOT set in its pciConnectFlags, then during address assignment we allow multiple instances of this type of device to be auto-assigned to multiple functions on the same device. A slot is used for aggregating multiple devices only if the first device assigned to that slot had VIR_PCI_CONNECT_AGGREGATE_SLOT set. but any device types that have AGGREGATE_SLOT set might be mix/matched on the same slot. (NB: libvirt should never set the AGGREGATE_SLOT flag for a device type that might need to be hotplugged. Currently it is only planned for pcie-root-port and possibly other PCI controller types, and none of those are hotpluggable anyway) There aren't yet any devices that use this flag. That will be in a later patch.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
