Thanks Pasha. One more for Bjorn's list:

  [06/13] PCI: liveupdate: Preserve bus numbers during Live Update
          https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20261013162529.1928093-7-dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx/

Bjorn's Reviewed-by on it was dropped in v9 when it changed materially
(albeit based on his feedback).

Alex, could you also take a look at the two ACS patches? 08 includes the
Egress Control Vector save/restore you asked for in v9.

  [08/13] PCI: Save and restore the ACS Control register and Egress Control Vector
          https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20261013162529.1928093-9-dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx/
  [09/13] PCI: liveupdate: Adopt ACS controls in incoming preserved devices
