Well I separated it in the xarray and the interface. It only stores the
type of mapping, not the distance and uses pci_p2pdma_map_type() to
retrieve it.

We only calculate it at the same time as we calculate the distance. This
is necessary because, to calculate the type, we have to walk the tree
and check the ACS bits. If we separated it, we'd have to walk the tree
twice in a very similar way just to determine both the distance and the
mapping type.

I'll apply your other feedback to a v3 next week.
