[PATCH 3/5] PCI: Add virtual extended cap save buffer for CXL state

From: smadhavan

Date: Fri Mar 06 2026 - 03:02:51 EST


From: Srirangan Madhavan <smadhavan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add pci_add_virtual_ext_cap_save_buffer() to allocate save buffers
using virtual cap IDs (above PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX) that don't require
a real capability in config space.

The existing pci_add_ext_cap_save_buffer() cannot be used for
CXL DVSEC state because it calls pci_find_saved_ext_cap()
which searches for a matching capability in PCI config space.
The CXL state saved here is a synthetic snapshot (DVSEC+HDM)
and should not be tied to a real extended-cap instance. A
virtual extended-cap save buffer API (cap IDs above
PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX) allows PCI to track this state without
a backing config space capability.
